WEE SCOTTY FEATURED AT SAN FRANCISCO FASHION WEEK AND UPCOMING ABC EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION SAN FRANCISCO

After rocking the runway at the 2005 San Francisco Fashion Week, local San Francisco designer Lynne Gallagher and her Wee Scotty Collection will be featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Following rave reviews and a roaring audience at S.F.F.W., it was no surprise that the team from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition looked to Wee Scotty for help on an upcoming special featuring a Fairfield, Ca. Family and their “fashion maven” daughter. Constance Ramos (building/planning) joined designer Lynne Gallagher as well as some experienced Wee Scotty sewing students at her Union St. Boutique. The team had an exciting day designing and planning for the room of the young aspiring designer. In an effort to inspire this young lady, Gallagher graciously donated a new Wee Scotty wardrobe, Wee Scotty sewing classes, and provided insightful input on designs for her room.
In 2000 Gallagher started Wee Scotty, a dual business featuring a boutique of her own children’s fashions as well as a successful children’s sewing school. Following a career designing costumes for rock bands such as Kiss, the Rolling Stones and the Goo Goo Dolls, Gallagher’s interest in children’s clothing was sparked following the birth of her daughter Leah. At Wee Scotty, Gallagher has created an interactive retail and sewing facility where she brings fashion and families together. Not only can students come in to explore racks full of bold fabrics, colors and textures, but they’re given the opportunity to take classes where they design and sew their own creations. Gallagher’s big aim in combining the two mediums is to inspire and cultivate the innate creativity she knows all children possess.
Earlier this year, Gallagher was invited to feature her collection at the 2nd annual San Francisco Fashion Week. Not only did Gallagher impress the masses with her retro, rock n’ roll Spring 2006 Wee Scotty collection, but she also gave her 2005 sewing students the opportunity to model their own outfits they’d made in classes. According to Lauren David Peden of Fashion Wire Daily, the Wee Scotty show featured the real “emerging stars” of the night. As Gallagher is winding down from the big fashion show in preparation for Wee Scotty’s appearance on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, she commented, “A nationwide appearance is a big step and I hope that it will inspire children around the country to look to sewing and design as a means of creative expression.”
Be sure to catch this inspiring episode of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition when it airs on Sunday, November 6th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm nationwide.
