My design partner(Keith Hseith) and I (Myko Lin, conceptor of StandardDeviation) are so excited and honored to be working with Isabel and Rueben Toledo + Patagonia though Otis' mentorship program to create a collection.

Some inspirations for Spring 2010

The collection is entitled, "Transparency". The inspiration is based on the idea of transparency play and modern architecture. There's been a lot of talk of transparency these days. From politics to social structures, everyone is looking for "transparency".
