First day of in person classes started July 1st!!! The first day in the studio we had our orientation for the first time in 15 months we all got to see each other and interact with one another face to face ( well some mask to mask ). After orientation Professor Piazza invited us to go to Mood fabrics, you may of heard about them from project runway. On the walk there we seen so many pretty fabrics from sequence, satin, designer fabric and much more. The first stop was Mood Furniture store, which wasn't really interesting to me as fabric wise. I wish there was more fun or classical prints for the furniture to give it character. One of the workers told us that Mood has been a family business for over a decade now and has been in the family ever since. I love the fact that they are a family business which means they been doing this longer than any of us were born. I also heard from one of my TikTik followers that they have a ‘house dog’ for the store ( which I did not see ) maybe before I leave I’ll go back to visit the dog.
When heading to the main Mood store you had to get on these elevators which, only certain people with passes can access the number panel. The door man directs you to what elevator takes you up to what store your going to. It is located on the 3rd floor, once you step out the elevator there is artwork made from chalk of different styles of dresses and fabric (of course). They have thousands of assortments from trims, furs, fabrics, designer fabrics, and buttons etc,. There were fabric price ranged from $35 a yard to $3,000 a yard, depending on what the need is for the look your going for. My favorite part of the store was the designer fabrics they had a lot of pearls and beads. I made a TikTok of my short visit there and only got what I thought would be interesting to make a video out of. It starts with me getting off the elevators then through the first floor of the store, with a part 2 on its way maybe a part 3 for all three sections of the store. I wish they accepted intern for the summer, I have a minor in textiles and one of my passions is to learn and produce my own fabric/prints. What a wonderful first trip !!! To be there at something I grew up watching on tv, and I got to experience first hand here in New York City with Kent State University !
