Booshie Design

Booshie pronounced (Boo-Shee) Design is my (Ginger Carlin) newly started company to showcase my designs. 
My story starts with my love of fashion and my obsession to look and dress like no other.  My whole life has revolved around fashion in one way or another.  My last dollar would be spent on something that made me tingle inside and created the perfect look.  I have never worn the same outfit out twice to the same venue.  Maybe rock it a second time in another city (maybe).






I worked for the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), where I was the manager of television membership (every TV station in the country I was the main contact) and July 2008 I was laid off and it was this that prompted me starting my own company.  I learned to sew and I am now finding that my style and designs are well liked and I am totally ecstatic.
My clothing design style reflects me and my own unique style.  I find that I love vintage clothing style and fabrics, from the 50's and 60's but have a deep appreciation of all vintage from other eras prior to the 80's.  Fabrics from the 60's and 70's I am fond of and I re-design, these treasures into unique modern designs.  I create custom looks for myself and my clients that uniquely fit my/their personality through interaction and listening to likes and dislikes and comfort levels.   

I have well over 500 pairs of shoes, 200 or so purses, 200 or so belts,  tons of bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry, leggings, leg warmers, gloves, and clothing galore.  I can be the stylist or designer or both.
