(Southern California) Caron Miller describes the process of making her "wearable art" with the words, "It's like painting with fabric." Her father bought her first Singer sewing machine as a birthday present at the age of ten. Instead of going to the Fashion Institute of Technology New York as he had hoped, Caron took a less traditional path: she worked her way up through the sports apparel industry until she was finally ready to make a go of it on her own. She peruses the LA fabric district in search of inspiration, then returns to her Santa Barbara "uncorporate hut-quarters", where she begins designing in her mind's eye. Taking her fabric and folding, pinning, and cutting them into scarves, Caron strives to create art that will make women their most "beautimous" (Caron's vocabulary for fabulous, gorgeous, and divinely beautiful).
