It's All Coming Together!

Carter is gearing up for two shows in New York in February.  

In his own words:

I am doing digital printing now on silk for my garments, and the results are extraordinary.  You can see them in the Printed Silk section of my website.  Nothing like this has ever come to fashion and after having dyed silks for over forty years, this to me, is a major breakthrough in something new and exciting.  You have to see it to believe it.

Off to NYC for the Shows

Carter Smith Designs will be participating in two New York shows next month.  He will be showcasing his new line of printed silk garments.

Creating One of a Kind

Recently I had a lovely phone conversation with a client who had fallen in love with Carter's work some 20 years ago.  She has a vision of the perfect dress in her mind and I have had the honor of starting the process with her of working towards that final product.  We started speaking about the event that the dress would be worn for.  Then colors, material, shapes, mosaics, and dye patterns.  This process has reminded me that the combinations are endless. 

 We, at any time, have many varieties of breathtaking dresses completed on site.  Carter is so interested in the happiness of his customers that he is more than happy to craft a project that is completely custom from start to finish.  I have never seen someone able to look at a woman, take into consideration all of he physical attributes (such as skin tone, hair color, eye color and body type) and pick the perfect piece to flatter her.  Carter considers a piece to be a perfect piece for a client, when it brings out the beauty in the woman wearing it.

Carter would be happy to create a custom piece for you weather you have been lusting after it for years, or have just found him.  He has pieces for all occasions and everyday.  Please contact your local boutique, or our studio if you would like a very special piece of your own.

I have included some beautiful photos of one of a kind dresses that we currently have in the studio as eye candy.

Something Merry and Bright!

On this the longest darkest day of the year I'd like to share some bright and beautiful embroidered silk coats.  These are an astounding way to add color and warmth to any winter ensemble.

Evolution of Art

Carter has been working for almost 6 months to complete a silk printing process.  Last week the first pieces came off the printer.  They are stunning. We will be posting more of this amazing process as it evolves.  Please check out the new section of our website devoted to PRINTED SILKS.
