• I used lazercut lambskin layered with hand dyed suede for the skirt. The harness is made with an antique brass hinge with African beads strung into it to look like a necklace.

  • This project was a collaboration with the fierce @mornography . They shot the photos with us all crammed in my studio (I was still working from home at the time) then edited them to make Ariela look like she was in an expansive space. Thank you Mor and Ariela for making this one come together so beautifully! .

  • I love utilizing found objects into my work. I'm constantly scouring antique and thrift stores for unique items. I found this old brass door hinge and turned it into a harness for this shoot featuring @arielahazan .

  • This feather cape was created using layers of ethically sourced feathers in a variety of colors and textures. I used a belt punch to cut the edges of the repurposed leather into wing tips which hold the feathers in place. You can see the details up close in the second photo. The beaded adornment in the front is detachable and can be worn separately as a necklace. .

  • These photos were taken by @angelasnappy . Someone with whom I have great respect and admiration for. Angela was so adept at capturing Meg in this feather cape. You see, Meg @actionisprimary is a dancer. We had her dancing during the entire shoot to capture the spirit and energy of both her and this custom commission. .

  • This beautiful feather Cape was a custom wedding commission for @actionisprimary . Meg and I met at a music festival where she had been admiring a feather cape I had for sale. After a few days I put it on her and told her to walk around and see how it feels. She came back with the biggest smile on her face. I knew she was in love! She didn't buy the original cape (pictured in second photo) but it stuck with her enough that she eventually commissioned the one you see here. It was an amazing collaboration and I was honored to have something I created worn for such a special occasion. .

  • I call this costume Techna. I used repurposed patent leather and different sizes of leather cording looped through the structure to produce a repetitive line to play off the backdrop. @romainejnyc so graciously let me paint her hair to create the illusion of a receding hairline. I love the effect. .

  • This costume was shot in 2011 and is still one of my favorite shoots! I had started this project and didn't have a photographer lined up but knew I needed someone with a special talent. I joined my friends at a local Brooklyn watering hole we called the Regal Beagle where I was introduced to @mrwhite_ . This was a pretty elaborate project for me at the time. I pushed past my nerves and asked Eric if he wanted to collaborate. I'm so grateful he said yes. The images are so striking. Thank you @mrwhite_ 💜 .

  • I created this costume after seeing a production by @greatsmallworks in which they recreated a set design by the iconic @thecockettes Jilala (original set in second photo). I was moved by the graphic quality and intensity. I immediately set to work making a costume that would both contrast and blend with the backdrop. I asked @romainejnyc , a member of Great Small Works, if she would 1) Be open to modeling the costume, 2) Let us use the backdrop and, 3) Let us shoot in the Great Small Works studio in Brooklyn. Tall order I know but luckily we're friends and she said yes! .
