Reconstructed Beauty
Reconstructed Beauty focuses on overlooked things. Abandoned spaces, covered with graffiti, is the inspiration of this look. The concept is further inspired by the forgotten heroines of WWII, brave spies, pilots, messengers, and radio wave operators who did valiant work that is rarely recounted. All the garments in this look have been upcycled from vintage garments, giving them a new life. The upcycled clothing is a reminder that there is often great beauty in things that have been forgotten.
All of the garments were upcycled, so each pattern piece had to be carefully placed, or reconstructed.
The bomber is upcycled from two wool suit jackets and has a graffiti tag created with felted wool
The skirt is lined with a vintage polyester floral dress that matches the color of the graffiti.
The skirt features epaulets, a storm flap, and a faux storm flap bellows pocket.
