Stem: Soho Girl

http://stem-mag.blogspot.com/2007/12/soho-girl.html

Local designer Amy Michielle Freeman’s fashions take billboards out of the sky and into your closet. In a consumer-driven culture, walking advertisements—think preteens with Abercrombie and Fitch plastered on their sweatshirts—are as common as Starbucks. But. Clothing designer Amy Michielle Freeman takes that idea to a whole new level. In Freeman’s hands, clothing is more than a branded T-shirt. It’s literally a billboard reworked into wearable fashion.
