Scroll Down for my May 2024 Fashion Line

Influenced by the mockery and anti-art of the 1960s Fluxus Art Movement, I adopted a playful, yet thought-provoking approach to answer the questions how can fashion be anti-fashion? How can I undo fashion? How can I destroy fashion and put it back together? How can I value the process and fun of fashion rather than its aesthetic outcome? By departing from aesthetics and visual appearance, I focused on the skirt’s function and how it can involve the viewer. I became interested in the notion of destruction and rebellion of the skirt, and with fashion at large. The outcome is a skirt that is meant to be teared apart, displayed in a video that highlights the destruction, rather than the outcome of the skirt’s body.

Majorly inspired by anti-art, playful experimentation, chaos, basket weaving, and Elliott Smith, this line is created with upcycled materials and uses alternative construction methods that are scrapy and resourceful.

Scrap Dress

In using an old unwearable wool sweater, I coiled with scrap fabric given to me by loved ones, hand-me-downs, and from thrift stores. The dress and wider collection is in conversation with ideas of play, love, impermanence, and a sense of release. I do this with the dichotomy of tight weaving with drooping fabrics and expressive color choices.
