Hell yes, a traveling shirt

 

This was the graduating show for Kim Tran, Fashion Design and Orly Ruaimi, Jewelry Design

at the Academy of Art BFA 2012.  My Blouse and Trouser's were used along with other classmates pieces from a previous class. 

 and then this beautiful thing happened, sent to me by earnest!
My blouse and jersey used with my favorite kind of fervor!

A girl and her Bird

 

for kelsey, with love. 

"she is a wolf looking through my window,"

I feel wild.

a perfumed neck

collected by 

your neighbor, my love.

Quiet disappointments. No,

know this nose hasn't got that--

time to reverse and adorn

a body (attempts to awaken

your sigh/t). 

I know the overreach,

of when you think of me--

small rivers

down my legs, One 

day, you'll watch me

go mad.

organic silk jersey with muslin

geometry, if i can't draw you, i will make you into an illusion:

half triangle/ half circle pattern making is responsible for the drape on this shirt/dress.

the vest is just good old draping on the mannequin.

i want a do-over, please

there is so much i would change about the strange-ness of these things. Trousers (jump suit?), however, have a great hang, thank the sewing gods.

the irony of "i forgive, but don't forget"

"I think it's possible

if someone does something,

really terrible to you--like,

really horrible,

something that hurts you

so bad,

it's so painful--

maybe then,

it's better to forget 

and live without all that pain.

Instead of forgiving,
and remembering."

a lesson in falling,

it's like flossing without
the need to choke
each tooth: a miserable
strangulation of health and fervor.

i keep polishing
the need to preserve
what little bite
i have.

self portrayal

You know when e.e. Cummings wrote

"nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands"

?

i think he wrote of me.

 

but then again, i think im the center of every word.

Converging & Diverging

 

Beautiful Organza that allowed me to dip dye her, marble over her, and run her through my printer.  

a little blouse from Rob Curry's class,

 

 

This was styled by a High Schooler, alongside Nancy Garcia's Trousers.

I gave my pattern of this blouse to Jasmine Gonzalez who made it in the same fabric, but without the double layering in the Center Front/ Center Back, We cursed the entire time.

Both of our shirts made it into the graduating BFA show at the Academy, used by Kim Tran. I'll follow up with pictures, perhaps tomorrow.
