26// the youth

I love Acne Paper. I love the size, the touch (matte paper), and the above all the content. The Roe Etheridge + Marie Chaix story Cries & Whispers surpasses the ‘fashion story’. These beautiful images feel more like a painting or a film still with their composition, colors, suggestiveness, and tension. Sometimes you never know where your work will show up, I have worked closely with Marie Chaix over the past year and while these custom made ombre/tie dyed fringe dresses were made for another story originally, this result is such a spectacular surprise. Thank you Marie and Acne Paper.

25// underneath it all

Karl Templer and his team has always been so wonderful to include custom pieces in where they can. Customized tshirts may not be adding dramatic flair here but they are a base layer of these extraordinary silhouettes. Imogen Poots has always been an actress who I couldn’t wait to see more from after V for Vendetta, especially in a fashion context, she has an extrodinary face, and this is it. Thank you Karen and Elin

Two of my dear friends, Justin and Stephanie, launched their line CO for fall winter 11, a smart and chic line of furs, silks, and leather for effortless girl on the go. I loved working with them to style their first video ‘trailer’ lookbook. Screen shots below

You must watch the video if you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll wish there were another 2 hours of it.

1// the thesis – cold shoulder

COLD SHOULDER – Fall/Winter 2009

A Fall Winter collection for the extremities of the darkening season. On occasion, in the dead of winter  you need an extra boost of energy from the vibrancy of bold color, on the other hand sometimes the only comfort is to disappear in the shadows in head to toe black. Sometimes your shoulders need an embellished defense to keep company away, and yet when they are bare they are asking for an embrace. I wanted to make clothes that not only related to one another, how they stacked and created new imagery, how they related from the wearer to observers and companions, but mostly clothes that moved and created a visceral experience and evidence of the wearer’s action.

I graduated from Parsons with a BFA in fashion design in May 2009/
