in the midst of madness,

i was asked to design + create an outfit

last minute for this mannequin.

i dug through boxes of fabric, feathers, trim

and with needles in my teeth and thread in my hand,
came up with this:

it made me realize that i love

high pressure time-crunched situations where i am

pressured/encouraged to be my most
creative resourceful self.

i was excited to bring it home

but it was already taken by someone;

now some little girl somewhere

is running around wearing my

deconstructed poncho dress.
