Engagement with wearing and engagement with making. Clothes that aren't unnoticed by the wearer.

Convertible coat/skirt that snaps apart, a modular twist on separates. The whole garment has to be pieced together, involving owning in making and engaging with ideas of manufacturing, what it means to make clothes, and the skill and time required! Everything we wear was made by someone.

Two-piece marble-weighted bouncing top, with hoops around the bust and self. The garment swings with and against your movement, reminding you to play and be engaged with what you're wearing and framing, dancing, pulling, pushing, and holding the body.
