THE PHOTOS ABOVE DEPICT MY COSTUME CREATIONS FOR BIRMINGHAM FASHION WEEK'S "RISING DESIGN STAR CHALLENGE" IN 2015. WE WERE TASKED TO CREATE GARMENTS WITHOUT USING FABRIC, SEWING MATERIALS, OR ANY TRADITIONAL FORM OF CLOTHING MATERIALS. THE FIRST GARMET WAS MADE USING A GRABAGE BAD, SPRAY PAINTED PLASTIC SPOONS, AND DUCT TAPE. THIS GARMENT WAS INSPIRED BY THE FISHING INDUSTRY. THE SECOND GARMET WAS A LAST MINUTE CHALLENGE THROWN AT US FROM BUFFALO ROCK BEVERAGE COMPANY TO CREATE A GARMENT IN 2 WEEKS USING ONLY THEIR CANS AND BOXES. I WAS ELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SEMI-FINALS AND PRESENT MY CREATIONS ON THE CATWALK DURING BIRMINGHAM FASHION WEEK'S RUNWAY EVENT.





THE PACKAGES ABOVE ARE SAMPLE TEMPORARY TATTOOS I CREATED INSPIRED BY GRAPHIC DESIGN TERMONOLOGY AND PUNS.
