I make crochet gowns to reveal, uplift, and protect the tender, emotional body.
What makes your style stand out?
I am trying to make material the complexity of physical, emotional, and spiritual entanglements into garments.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream isn't a spectacle but a feeling - a collapsing of boundaries between maker, material, and body.
What would you do with $20,000?
I feel as though there's an external force or momentum behind me - whether that's the grace of my family & friends, self-delusion, or something else entirely. I feel the value of whatever it is that wants to be expressed through me, just as I believe there is in everyone else. Ever since I was a little girl, my hands have been fiercely strong and electric with creative energy. I want to honor that aliveness, so if I won, I would use the funds to make more.
