Cause for Mass Appeal was a grand time! The runway overflowed with incredible talent. It was exciting to be a part of another successful Buffalo fashion event.
My wearable art piece was a sculpture of blue-green insulation felt, tiers of plastic seam strips, ruffles of black seam filler, pleats of gray insulation felt, corset details of asphalt paper, nail fringe, and a belt of metal perforated banding. The dress covered a hoop skirt of metal strips, plastic banding, and zip ties. Grommets, and twine held everything together. My model carried a fan of metal & nails, and the same detail was woven into her hair. Twisted nails as earrings were a last minute addition. If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs did a cover of Mozart.
Let them eat [nail] cake!
