Eve-olution

Photo of two seated models. One model wears a matching set that includes a machine knitted blue/brown jacquard bra, underwear, and leg warmers. The second model is shown in side-view. She wears a blue/brown cardigan with detachable sleeves, shorts, a blue/ brown reversible chiffon bra, and a brown leather belt. On the floor near the models are brown leather bags with blue/yellow stitching and yellow fur keychain.

My personal interpretation of being a creative with dyslexia through name-patterned jacquard knits

Two standing models. One wears blue/brown EVE machine knitted jacquard bra, underwear, and a blue/brown chiffon ruffle dress styled as a skirt with a brown leather belt. The second look is a front view with a blue/brown reversible chiffon bra, blue asymmetrical chiffon top, and blue/brown EVE knit shorts.

I pair jacquard knits with contrasting chiffon to represent how dyslexia is invisible to others.

Two standing models. One model is posed with her back to camera. She wears a blue and brown EVE machine-knitted jacquard sweater layered with knit underwear, a blue and brown chiffon ruffle button dress, and a blue and brown reversible button bra. The second look is a front-view, featuring a yellow/brown chiffon E bra top, yellow EVE button laser-cut skirt, brown chiffon laser-cut pants, a brown wool coat with a yellow fur shawl collar, and sequined knit puff sleeves, and pockets.

EVE jacquard knit contrasts the chiffon EVE laser-cut skirt, pants, and abstract laser-cut E top.

This look is a front view featuring a yellow and brown chiffon E bra top, yellow EVE buttoned laser-cut skirt, brown chiffon EVE laser-cut pants, a brown wool coat with yellow fur cuffs and collar, combined with sequined, knit puff sleeves and pockets.

Contrasting combinations of textures and embellishments reflect the dyslexic experience.

The first look in front view: the blue-brown chiffon reversible bra, blue asymmetrical chiffon buttoned top, and buttoned sequined shorts. The second look in front view features the yellow EVE buttoned laser-cut skirt, brown chiffon EVE laser-cut pants, and brown wool coat that has yellow fur cuffs and collar and sequined knit puff sleeves and pockets.

The rich color, texture, shine, and sheerness creates a variety of fun combinations for all minds.

Eve-olution is a collection that reflects on my personal journey growing up with dyslexia. This disability isn't visible to others, but it is impairing to those who struggle with it. I illustrated this with my knit and laser-cut name pattern, intentionally created with the E’s facing each other, just like I wrote my name in preschool. My garments incorporate unexpected uses of color and texture, stylized into very layered looks.
