i am dead set against commodity fetishism, against labor dissimulation. i design and make everything in los angeles. the yarn is mostly yarn remainders, what’s left over from large fashion firms’ yarn orders from various mills

essentially this is all an art project considering labor value, fantasy (via magic: the gathering, shakespeare, dolly parton, pokémon {“johto to jericho”}), grief, gender & silhouette, & religious discourses of virtue and sin. it examines the fact that dress is immemorial and at the heart of social life, exploitation, and sensuality

questions about fit, or anything else, please ask, through email or instagram. if you are outside of the united states, please message me to arrange shipping. everything i sell counts as a ‘sample’—ie i’ve worn it, maybe one or two others will have worn it for a photoshoot or something. if anything is less than ‘like new,’ i will note.

everything is one-of-a-kind. i am selling these as artworks, which incidentally may be worn
