Semester One Final Looks

Look 1 is a machine knit "track suit". I machine knit three layers of yardage and used them to create this cut and sew look. The sleeves are stuffed with a fluffy white material to create the look of clouds.
Each look comes with its own pair of socks that you can mix and match with other looks. I machine knitted this pair to mimic the outside layer of the track suit with the sparkly rib knit to match!
Look 2 is a chiffon sweater dress. The chiffon has been printed with an original print I designed and I've screen printed the rib knit with a similar face oriented print.
To cover the goods, the chiffon dress comes with pink satin boxer shorts. Also custom printed with my print design.
The socks for this look were made out of a jersey knit, custom printed as well.
Look 3 is made from multiple types of denim. The denim bomber jacket is custom printed with my first family portrait, while the skirt is a collage of the portrait, and some designs I screen printed with my face, addresses that pertain to my childhood and drawings. My initials "DNS" are seen in gold on the side of the skirt.
These socks were made from a found double sided knit.
Pieces of the skirt are left unfinished to mimic Brooklyn's ever changing landscape. Buildings, people and establishments are constantly being ripped from their original homes and crudely pasted elsewhere or are removed from the map entirely hence the empty spaces with faint remnants of red thread.
