Samantha Rei

Samantha R. Crossland (working name Samantha Rei) has been designing and sewing clothing since she was 13 years old. With inspirations stemming from historical fashion, fairytales and Japanese youth fashion, she has created a line that fuses all of these things. She began her line and Web site, Blasphemina's Closet, in 2000, making one-of-a-kind pieces, custom projects, and high-end items. Samantha draws her inspiration from young adult fiction as well as fairytale and children's stories. Her style has been influenced by her hero Alexander McQueen as well as designers Vivienne Westwood, H. Naoto, Colleen Atwood, Takuya Angel and Victorian Maiden. Samantha's line embodies sweetness and innocence. With modest hemlines and flattering colors, she wants women and girls to reclaim their femininity. With her menswear line, she wants men to feel like "well-dressed warriors". To date Samantha has been part of several fashions shows, has run the SGMS fashion show for three years and has won two awards. She has also been featured in Shojo Beat magazine, Minnesota Women's Press, Five For Magazine, Pacific Rim Magazine, Vita.mn, Gothic Beauty, Coup de Main, Runway, Metro, RX magazine and has been featured multiple times in the American Gothic and Lolita Bible.

♥ Currently all the work I do is TFP/TFCD or clothes. 

♥ One of my biggest pet peeves is someone who doesn't have their current and accurate measurements listed, then asks to work with me without giving their measurements.  If you don't list your sizes in your profile, please send them with your correspondences.  I don't want to have to ask everyone for their sizes all the time.

♥ I don't come on here much these days so if you have a very pressing need to collaborate, please go to my website and contact me or my publicist that way.
