This look is meant to be played with like a pop-up book. The pant cuffs reveal hidden characters!
This look was created using goldwork hand embroidery, needle-felting, quilting, and fabric painting.
This gender-neutral look features pin-tucking, crenellation sleeve wings, and dragon puppet sleeves.
The satin pants are inspired by 17th century petticoat breeches, spatter-dashes, and bloomers.
The coat features my needle-felted detachable toy characters, "King Pio" and "The Creature."
These two gender-neutral haute couture children's wear looks take inspiration from pop-up books, fairy tales, maximalism, and medieval art and fashion. They tell the story of a child going on an adventure of self-discovery and what it means to explore and come to understand the world around you. The pieces are meant to be a child's ultimate fantasy, with sleeves that function as puppets to play pretend, plush toy accessories, and a pocket that opens to reveal a hidden world.
