In the caption, Julia detailed her fifth attempt at recreating one of Georgie’s designs from the 1940s, emphasizing that all the materials she utilized, with the exception of the thread, were thrifted, contributing to the affordability of the project.
During an interview with ABC7 in Chicago, the content creator shared that her primary muse for the project was her grandmother. She explained, “My grandmother has always been my source of inspiration. We’ve shared a close bond, and her wonderful sketches from fashion school served as the foundation for this creative endeavor.”
Beyond the realm of social media, Julia had the opportunity to showcase her talents and creations at the New York Fashion Week in early 2023. The breakthrough came when The Society, a production company, reached out, expressing their admiration for both her grandmother and her designs, leading to the feature of her collection. Despite having less than four weeks for preparation, Julia successfully pulled off the event.
When it comes to her sewing skills, Julia revealed that her grandmother hadn’t taught her to use a sewing machine, focusing solely on designing and sketching. The self-taught sensation honed her sewing skills by watching instructional videos on YouTube.
Julia’s followers expressed admiration for her creations and Georgie’s designs, showering the comment section with love and praise. One follower wrote, “What precious memories! Your grandma must be so proud; love seeing these!” Another shared, “Coolest thing I’ve seen lately! I’m so glad your grandma lived to see her designs come to life through you! You’re making her dreams come true.”
