Christian Tinson
"In the fashion industry it takes that one great design to achieve superior status."
Christian Tinson was born in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, better known around the world as the “Big Easy”. Being a Navy brat, he and his family never settled in one state. He attended school in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia. While in junior high school Christian was bitten by the fashion bug. At the age of 17, he decided that designing a T-shirt was his first brilliant idea. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do or how he was going to accomplish it since he did not have any sewing experience. His first designed shirt was for himself, “I was so excited to put it on”. Christian reminisces. He wanted to start a new trend, hand painted designs on all types of clothing.
Christian learned to sew at the age of 20 at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Though it took him a while, he finally got it. His biggest influences are Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Ralph Lauren, Coogie, and Miskeen Originals. “I love the way they all come up with new and innovative ideas for men’s and women’s urban wear.” Christian was highly influenced by 90’s urban wear and 20th century urban wear. His design style is eccentric, different, thoughtful, and somewhat inspiring. Christian explains, “by inspiring I mean I try to make a statement on every piece I design, I paint what I see in my mind’s eye regarding my client, their aura, demeanor, and character”.
Designer Facts:
If I could bring back any fashion trend it would be the 90’s urban wear.
Closet Chatter
I have to agree with the others Homeschoolmama. Go with the company you trust and know that you're going to get a quality dress. And if it's beautiful the color doesn't matter as long as you like it.
HSM- I was not able to see the dress using the link you provided but I agree with Daphne. You should not risk purchasing from a company that you are unsure of for such an important event.
Homeschoolmama I would go with a company I trust. You wouldn't want to risk having something go terribly wrong, especially if the quality is in question.
Can I ask you all a question?
I'm less than a year from our 20th anniversary, and we'll be renewing our vows. I thought I'd order a pretty gown in chocolate brown. But I've been hearing stories about the company & their inability to get a dress shipped in a timely manner, as well as some nightmares about quality that have made me second-guess ordering through them.
Then this morning, I found this dress. (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/romantic-storyline-dress)
I LOVE the lace & chiffon, LOVE the modest neckline, and LOVE the defined-but-not-cinched waistline. I love that it would "go" with absolutely everything else I have planned, and the shape would look great on me. I even love that it's through Modcloth since I know & love their clothing already, AND it's $40 cheaper than the brown dress.
BUT... it's ivory. And I wasn't gonna "go there" with ivory because I DON'T want it to look like a bridal gown! So my question is... if it were you, would you wear an ivory dress, or keep shopping for a brown dress through a company you could trust?!?
