This dress was the result of a collaboration with a senior fashion student. I was chosen to weave three yards of fabric for Abbey Eilerman’sFiesta Forever collection, which was selected to be in the 2015 SCAD fashion show last year. This fun and flirty assortment of women’s garments were inspired by retro fashion styles with a twist of cultural party flair. As the textile artist in this collaboration, I had artistic freedom in picking funky yarns and designing energetic vibes in the hand woven fabric.
