Eco Eggs Dress Project



I was recently contacted by a company in Minnesota that is making Easter Eggs out of completely biodegradable compostable materials!  Imagine that last lonely egg lost in the Easter egg hunt and left on the lawn - no worries!  It will simply eventually harmlessly decompose into the ground.  I made a shorter version of my Easter Egg Dress using their eggs so I can attest that they feel the same and are just as sturdy as the plastic varieties.  My dress will travel with them to various conventions they are attending to promote their product.  I was honored to assist this innovative, environmentally-motivated new company!  Learn more at www.ecoeggs.com

New Dress Project! Cassette Tape Dress

Before she left on tour for Japan, my friend the amazingly talented singer Tara Baswani wanted to collaborate on a dress project / photo shoot together. In honor of her music I made a cassette tape dress for her to wear. It was then used for a local Valentine's Day Couture Art Challenge in Vegas, benefiting the Children's Heart Foundation. Since I grew up in the era of romantic "mixed-tapes" I figured it was fitting for Valentine's! Tarra is modeling the Cassette Tape Dress on the program for the benefit fashion show.


 It was then modeled on the catwalk by Jessica Napier.  Hair and makeup by Stephanie Aguilar.
