Dior Couture 2014

Dior Couture 

Dior. Couture 

Wanted to create a look similar to the runway looks from Dior, also wante it to fell fresh and southwest inspired so I Found this dress from India that seemed small , once I cut off the sleeves it gave it more arm 

room, plus I made the arm holes larger on both sides for a better fit and a more loose casual feel.

Proceeded to cut the garment straight down the middle, being that this piece had embroidery 

I had no problem with fraying once I pinned the edges down for the seams.

After I had removed the sleeves and cut the entire length of the dress. I seamed all the edges and arm holes to create the kimono/robe hot off the runway, that can be paired in different looks for a day to night transformation.

Paired up with cutoff denim shorts that I distressed a bit by running the sharp end of the scissors

At the cut frayed end of the shorts, paired up with a vintage style light cotton tee supplied by the Friendly Spot Ice House in Southtown 

The  repurposed  jeans shorts were cut by an inch , all the original labels were removed, except for the 

Buttons and one belt loop was cut out for indentifying purposes.

Kenzo 2015

project number two.

Wanted to create the same feeling as the previous piece

Just wanted it to be larger and longer for a more dramatic touch

Found this large one piece poncho robe dress with some interesting details and motifs.

I proceeded to 

CUT straight down the middle of the garment and pinned the amount I wanted to sew

I wanted it to be more open in the front , so I pinned and sewed it closer to the sides

Paired up with this animal empire sheath dress/top, The look creates a night time
