"The gears in local designer Lacey Kalivoda's brain are turning 24-7. She's so immersed in design, it isn't unusual to find her excitedly sewing and feverishly sketching at four in the morning. Right now she is making a name for herself with her own brand of whimsical garments and accessories called--what else--Kalivoda. The Severn native's wearable creations range from colorful jewelry and hand-knit sweaters to cute shoes and, in the future, skirts and other women's apparel. Items are skillfully crafted, yet have a charming homespun feel. The Cabin Sweater, a cross between a shrug and a sweater, creates a cozy cocoon around the wearer. Her delicate Tea Earrings are created using a special lace-making technique that dates back to the nineteenth century. Kalivoda is currently working toward her associate degree in fashion design at Baltimore City Community College. Kalivoda's goal for the future, she says, is to simply get paid to be creative. Pieces from Kalivoda's line can be found at Shine Collective in Hampden and through her own website, www.kalivoda.com."
