You may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet here the past few weeks—and it’s because I’ve made a really exciting decision. I’m shifting my focus away from creating styling content and moving more fully into garment design.
Many of you know I’ve been dabbling in clothing design for years, and in the fall of 2023 I even debuted a 7-piece collection. Fashion design has always been a dream of mine, but until now, I didn’t feel quite ready to pursue it wholeheartedly. Something about this moment just feels right, and I’m ready to give it my all.
That said, I’m still here if you need styling support, but for now I’ll be pressing pause on my YouTube channel and weekly styling blog. Design and sewing are deeply immersive—they require so much of my creative energy and focus.
I’ll still be sharing content on TikTok and Instagram, but you’ll notice a shift toward documenting my design journey. I’d love for you to follow along:
- Instagram:@erinsimmonsstudio
- TikTok: @ophelialorrain —which also happens to be my design brand name.
And here’s something extra exciting: I’ll be showing a new collection at Austin Fashion Week, November 6–8!
Thank you for supporting me through this next chapter. In the meantime, stay sustainable, intentional, and uniquely you.
