Design a show-stopping shawl for Stevie Nicks
A NOTE FROM STEVIE NICKS
A NOTE FROM STEVIE NICKS
"I was so moved by the amount of submissions and the amazing detail and effort that was put into all of the designs. It was such a difficult decision for me to choose just one!
I’d like to give a special shout out to 9 year-old Maia Quinn. Your design was in my top 10 before I even realized you were only 9! By the time you’re 15, you’ll be a famous fashion designer living in Paris!
Ultimately, I chose NAY-TIV RAY-VIN by Crickets Meyeres. I felt this garment could have been made for Rhiannon or for Gold Dust Woman~ the color really isn’t that important. It just seems like a “Celtic” or a “native American” piece~ and I found that very interesting because it is obviously the tribal element that drew me to it~ be it Welsh or Southwestern~ Congratulations!!!"

"In 1968, a very handsome boy brought me a poncho from South America. I knew it was magic and that some day I would copy it in chiffon or leather or beaded material. I realized that wearing a poncho or a long shawl gave me something to work with up on the stage. Big movements, big twirls, you need to be seen from far away. So I made that a big part of my stage clothes. It became totally intertwined in my fashion style."
