I had the honor of making the great @jarvis.hammer this epic David Bowie inspired look for @bouletbrothersdragula and am beyond proud of them and this masterpiece.
The base material was a stretch PVC that I fused to yield a structured leather-like material for the body while leaving the sleeves stretchy for mobility. I printed the graphics on a @cricut , pattern matched the hell out of it and topstitched every single line. The insides lined with a black and white fabric as a nod to the original Kasai Yamamoto masterpiece.
Needless to say, this was a gloriously laborious project and one of the craziest pieces I've made thus far. 😈🤟🏼🔪
If you're not watching @bouletbrothers Dragula, hop on @shudder or @amcplus and do yourself a favor.

🚨 WE IN INTERNATIONAL PRINT! 🚨
I'm so proud, thankful and honored to have 3 pieces featured in @ellechina@superellechina thanks to my AMAZING official (unofficial lol) drag mother @louisiannapurchase !!!
I've been collaborating with Louisiana for nearly a decade now and it's been an absolute pleasure to see her evolve, excel and SLAY the drag world. She's such a full-bodied artist with defined style and vision for her world and she always helps push my own artistry. I love you mama!
This chiffon corset dress was a FEAT to get the structure down (erect?) while maintaining the sheerness and softness of the chiffon but damn did we nail it!
I also outfitted the lovely @lvnaknight in a sheer baby boll dress made of reclaimed tulle and @sinfulpurchase in a satin smocked gown.
This shoot was an absolute dream and such a fun day bonding with the House Of Purchase. We doing the damn thing, y'all!

Last night’s Future of Fashion session brought the conversation around sustainability to the forefront.
With insights from Madelyn Morgan, City of Austin Circular Economy Program Manager, and Aaron Torres, we explored what it truly means to design with intention. From circular systems to responsible production, the discussion challenged us to think beyond aesthetics and consider the full lifecycle of what we create.
These are the conversations that push the industry forward, grounded in community, awareness, and action.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the energy in the room. We’ll see you at the next session.
Tonight, we’re joined by Madelyn Morgan, City of Austin Circular Economy Program Manager, alongside our very own Aaron Torres of @sleep__never , for a discussion on how designers can create with intention while thinking about long-term impact.
From circular systems to responsible production, this session will explore how sustainability can be integrated into every stage of the design process, not just as an idea, but as a practice.
If you’re building a brand that considers both creativity and responsibility, this is a conversation you need to be part of.
