As some of you may know, I found out I had (hopefully it’s gone!) cancer again back in August, so I apologize for the lack of posts on this blog.

In the meantime, please enjoy my TUMBLR, which I update daily with inspiration images.

le coup de grace–

The mood video for my thesis collection is done, skillfully edited by San Francisco’s own Michael Marzio. Had we more time and money, it would’ve been great to orchestrate a plot, but these hauntingly static dream girls will do just fine.

Now plotting world domination… errr, I mean, finding a steady creative design position.

The Monster Within, the monster under your skin

Here are some photos of my senior thesis collection, entitled “Le Monstre Dans”, or “The Monster within”.

The title and concept of the collection alludes to my battle with cancer at age 23, just before starting my senior year. The concept of “overgrowth” just kind of seeped into my mental processes throughout the year… taking over, appropriately.

I was inspired by historical fabric manipulations, like smocking and striping, but altered in a contemporary and modern way. Big inspirations also included Hans Bellmer, french rococo, and 1970’s glam/punk style.

“What is considered good and virtuous can, in excess, become a lethal element that overtakes the mental and physical self. Dreams can become nightmares; life can become malignant. In this collection, the soft girlish appeal of pastels and supple fabric have been hijacked by lethal spikes and overgrown fabric manipulations, transforming the female body from precious to perilous.”

mirror, mirror.

I’m making a midsummer’s resolution to post more outfit pictures. I just hate asking people to take photos… so my pride gets the better of me, and many smashing outfits are lost to the banals of drunken club history.

Shoes and crochet gloves, H&M. Tights are American Apparel. Lace dress, scarf, and hat are vintage. Ostrich feather jacket is vintage 1960s, most likely. Aptly described as “virginal”. I tried to do a bronze/purple zombie eye a la the Prada AW show:

or perhaps a la Bowie:

Very inspired by old ladies and little girls lately, neither of which I am.

There is nothing like a proper lady in slutty platforms.

Start wearing some cute little socks with your heels!
