Welcome to my website! My name is Susan McLoughlin, and I’m proud to present
SŪSŌ Fashions!

I started sewing when I was a teenager because I had a summer job at the New York
Renaissance Festival and I needed costumes. Soon afterwards, I began attending Science Fiction conventions with my friends and I discovered the huge array of
costumes and fashions that fans are interested in.

By the time I graduated high school, I felt that since I already knew how to sew, I
should study a different field of art. Therefore, I went to college to study animation,
and continued sewing as a hobby. My classes at school taught me important design
skills such as color theory and graphic design, which I applied to my garment
designs. After I graduated college, I got a job as a 2D artist in the video game industry. Eventually, my company re-located across the country, and I decided to stay behind and start my own costuming company.

I have created garments for many different occasions ranging from weddings to
LARPs (Live Action Role-Playing events), and everything in-between! I am also
fascinated by Japanese culture and fashion. Together with my friends in Japan, I
help run an unofficial international fan club devoted to Japanese pop star
T.M.Revolution.

I love the challenges that come with creating custom clothing, and I always put my
best efforts into everything that I produce. I am committed to high-quality
workmanship and materials, and I take pride in all of my work. I’m excited at this
opportunity to share my creations with you, and I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
