About Ruthie
I’ve been observing my surroundings and making creations out of combined materials for almost as long as I’ve been in the world. I began working with fabric as an artistic medium when I was in school, making interactive “rooms” with fabric walls and softly stitched interiors. I worked at a tailoring shop after graduating to really hone my sewing skills, and fell even more in love with textiles and making clothing. I realized that designing and creating clothing and costumes satisfied my desire for my work to be practical, personal, part performance, and completely interactive and collaborative. I love fashion best when it’s fun, functional, comfortable and adorable. I’m always looking and lusting for those pieces that you can wear all year, all of the time and always feel feisty and wonderful in them. That’s why I call my line, Ruthie’s Uniform. I strive to make clothes that last and can be worn often. My latest collection of clothing consists of high waisted flared skirts, little belled sleeve jackets and sweaters and hats reminiscent of the cloche of the 1920′s and 30′s. Classic vintage, flattering, tailored looks, old-fashioned buttons and trims, and cute, quality fabrics always inspire me. Enjoy!
