My fashion designer mom Eva and I moved to scary 1970’s Manhattan from Riverdale in the Bronx. My Dad moved across the street from legendary Disco, Studio 54. New York City was wild creative and broke. This is a picture at my subway stop.
I studied fashion at Parsons School of Design. Rock and Roll was my muse. The Mudd club my wreck room.
After graduating Parsons I moved to Milan to design for the fantastic fabulous ground breaking happening Fiorucci. Here's a picture at a store event.
While in Italy I was reading a lot about, and getting excited about tech.
My mind exploded with visions of the possibilities. Determined to use computers for fashion design I came back to the USA to pursue. In 1984 I bought a Mac and trudged my way through 128K of RAM to do so. Here's a still of me on Family Computing a cable show of the time.
To see the whole ordeal of using a computer to design clothes in 1984 click on the video play button. It's about 14 minutes so feel free to slide on through.
Our Bullog is a blog / vlog that documents snippets of French Bull’s story, a bit of my story, and thoughts about being a designer in business. Since all parts are connected, the timeline may jump around. Happy reading.
This is Part 3 of 3. All things In-Between is our everyday with family, pets, kids, and friends. This is the love of my family's life - His name is Dash. Dash is a foodie and a bull dog. ( not a french bull ) making French Bull pet bowls was natural.
I love camouflage in general, but wanted a French Bull camo with a spin. We named it Glamo. My favorite part is the silicone rimmed base because Dash is a monster and the slipping and sliding that was going on with his other bowls was a disaster.
I've got big kid's now so I never lived it first hand, but I've been told little kids covet their French Bull dishes because they make French Bull characters their own. Their imaginations fill out the story. This makes me ecstatic because that's exactly what kid's should be thinking about.
Our disposable plates put the Happy in Happy birthday (corny ). Seriously though parties are about celebration and up-ness and that's what I want our plates to make you feel.
I usually have a bunch of friends over to kick off the summer with a BBQ. When grilling and dining al fresco it makes for a French Bull extravaganza. It's all easy peasy light and fun. Our round platters are mega, and really great for burgers buns corn - all that fun stuff.
I use everything French Bull for appetizers too.
