New Orleans designer hopes show will foster the growth of a local fashion industry

The living room of John Delgadillo’s 7th Ward shotgun home is split in two by an exposed brick fireplace. One side is inhabited by a sofa and chairs; and the other, by a work table, sewing machine and an explosion of fabric swatches. Tiny, basic sketches — a sheath with a ruffle hem, a pencil skirt — are pinned to a white cabinet door.

“None of those got made,” Delgadillo said as he apologized for the dishabille of his work room. “I get tired of them before I even start.”
