Esther Nash scoops on her new book "Glam I Am"
"Glam I Am" showcases one of my prior Spring collections. Modeled
by me. Photographed by some of the most elite fashion photographers,
makeup artists & hairstylists who worked with me in creating each of the
“Glam” moods in this book. It includes shoes, ready to wear, rock star
looks, accessories, and my jewelry designs paired with my good friend
Judith Ripka's Jewels.
As a toddler, I dressed Glam. I wore red wooden Swedish clogs and
ankle bells. When I was cast for the lead role in my elementary school's
play, "Vikings". We wore gold mesh “onesies” paired with a fur cape and a
gold viking helmut with horns & fur trim. Everyday at school turned into a
fashion show. I dressed to impress my classmates who later turned into my
fans. I wore princess dresses and asian kimonos. It was a great experience
to be able to express myself as a toddler and continue to adulthood with
the same attitude. Not hold back from creative expression.
At age 11, I discovered makeup, nail polish, all types of hairstyles to
compliment my different fashion looks. Evening wear, sportswear, resort,
rock star glam to name a few. In my opinion fashion should not be a
uniform, but instead a way to express oneself and the many different
moods.
My Mother and my school teachers neighbors encouraged me to
develop my artistic talents and later on to follow my dreams of being a
model and fashion designer. Perfect strangers used to stop my mother and
I to compliment me on my style and asked for a photo.
My art was regularly showcased in hallways and classrooms to be
admired by faculty and the student body. Unfortunately some of my art
work on display was destroyed or missing. I did not have a copy. Those
pieces were originals. This happened again in junior high school, high
school and college. Both my art work and my fashion designs were taken
off the walls, or by force from my school locker. My portfolios and my
fashion designs were stolen from my home multiple times, from fashion
shows, photoshoots, coat check, bell services. Even bag check at the
airport or “accidentally” left behind in the taxi. Once at the airport, I was
late to the gate. The flight attendant closed the gate and refused to let me
take my flight but my luggage containing all my designs for the Scottsdale
Arizona fashion show traveled to Scottsdale without me. Now when I travel
its only with a carry on that never leaves my sight.
A few times when I was on film set my designs were missing from
holding. Once, I was hired by a milliner to model her hats while wearing
only body paint. I had to check my clothes which included my designs.
When I handed in my ticket stub my clothes were missing from wardrobe.
All these incidents are amongst the reasons, I decided to publish this
book. To have a copy of my design work. Verification of my fashion
designs.
Through talent scholarships provided by Cooper Union, the Art
Students League, the National Academy of Design, and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, I have been able to follow my dreams. I feel lucky to be
born and raised in New York City, a place that truly never sleeps and whose
resources are endless.
