i recently created a conceptual fashion piece i like to call, "urban excavation". here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot.
i was inspired by a wall in chicago which is constantly graffitied and then painted over white by the city. soon after it is covered up, someone writes over the new paint again in this continuous cycle. i suddenly thought of the idea of being able to excavate a city wall by peeling back its layers of paint. through this, we could explore decades of history. i made the dress possible for more than one person to wear at a time because so many different people have been a part of the wall. they have unknowingly been involved in a conversation with someone they have never met. this layered dress is essentially three dresses in one. each time the dress is unraveled, a new piece of this conversation is revealed.
Also, a special thank you to my models Elise Duffy, Sophia Bedolla, and Georgia Saunders.
