Custom made and designed recycled fabric ♻️ dresses for Mica & Maya, co-founders of slow fashion platform @MIVEfashion ! Their chosen theme was the Sims 2 neighborhood Strangetown, and each sister had her own style preference, so you know it was a fun project to work on creatively.
See some of the process in my story or “Process” highlight!
Happy Birthday @micasmanifesto and @caineinthesky ! 💕 always love working w/y’all.

(1/3) AAS 2019 Exhibition Theme: Juxtaposition// My garment focuses on the juxtaposition of the childhood of Black girls with that of their White counterparts. It embodies the contrast in society’s opposite perceptions of the two groups (delicate, feminine, soft, and modest vs. brute, hyper-sexual, mature, and independent.) and begins to explore the harmful effects and the lasting reactions to those assumptions— the lack of protection and freedom, sexualization, exposure, policing, and adultification of Black girls. The ensemble is aesthetically inspired by school-girl uniforms.
