Made of hemp, canvas, brown plastic bags and brown paper this piece has been loving named by friends and family as ‘The Bag Dress’.
The Bag Dress is what got me into The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Fashion Department. I made this piece my first semester of freshman year at SAIC and I was asked to display it at the entrance of the fashion department’s annual runway show.
For reference sophomores, juniors and seniors in the fashion department the only ones allowed to participate in the annual fashion show, I was the first in SAIC history to break that rule.
