Ecouterre

I made my favorite fall jacket out of a big sequinned dress I found at the thrift store. I just flipped it around, changed the zipper, and cut the bottom with the sequinned pattern to be gradual and uneven.

I wear this way too often, to places that are maybe inappropriate for sequins.

I wear this way too often, to places that are maybe inappropriate for sequins: going grocery shopping, walking my dog, etc. It’s just fun.

This is what I wore to my bridal shower. It’s remade vintage (but I traded for it at a flea market). I’m with my friend Xana and we both thought we looked a little “Mafia,” especially together.

Here, I’m standing outside the Lost Angeles where I’ll show the Spring/Summer 2010 line for L.A. Fashion Week.

I think I look like a Russian Cossack, which is kinda awesome.

I’m wearing a ton of clothing because I was at my studio digging through old bins and just kept throwing on more stuff: an oversized vintage cropped tank, a luxury bohemian-type top I bought in Taipei, a wifebeater I spray-painted, and these highwaisted vintage pleated pants, with my old buckle boots.

Last Friday, I went to a friend’s photography opening with my friend Anne. I’m wearing a dress from my new curatorial line: It’s made out of vintage fabric. I’m also wearing my favorite crocheted socks (I bought them in Japan when I was there for work) with vintage leather boots I just found. I have a separate dresser for hosiery hidden in the back of our shared closet, so I guess I haven’t really cut back on extra stuff that much.
