2009 Denver Pret-a-Porter design industry fashion show.
I worked with a team of 5 to design a dress based on Vitra’s Polder sofa using industry-donated upholstery fabrics and leather. I did all of the sewing and my little vintage Bernina was literally SMOKING trying to get through those fabrics! We didn’t win, but it was so much fun and the winners were quite incredible. A spiraling dress made entirely of Formica plastic laminate… super impractical but looked amazing. Krystal (an architect) was our model and I’m the one trying to make her hair even bigger!
