Jagged Rock
A dress I made out of recycling old garments and adding surface design techniques. Assymetric collar, checkered skirt, denim, woven cotton, button and zipper at side.

So... this is the plan man!

I plan on custom designing original pieces for you! I want to provide people with unique clothing that reflects
their personality and individuality. I am open to collaborating your ideas with my creative eye and skill to create a work of wearable art :)

I always find shopping a bit frustrating, because what I see in my head and what is available in stores to purchase doesn't quite line up. You may deal with this too. Back in high school I used to go thrift shopping to find unique pieces. Then I would often cut them apart and sew pieces of one T shirt  to another or paint designs on plain T shirts. I just wanted to do my own thing rather than follow celebrity fashion or trends.

I do look to other designers for inspiration, but I am more likely to grasp ideas from my surroundings and interpret them into clothing. One of my past creations was a belt made out of a variety of candy wrappers that I had collected off of the street and recycled into a wearable accessory. Used some duct tape, packaging tape and velcro to put that together, and people thought is was awesome! I also made a belt out of bar codes. One time a friend told me I should go through the self check out line at a grocery store and scan my belt to see how much it was worth. haha... fun memories of my past creations. I am looking forward to what is to come and I hope you are too!
