“I am wearing thrifted clothing that I’ve patched, dyed, and painted. I purchased the glasses (Kozaburo) and shoes (The Broken Arm.) The bone necklace is made from chicken from a grocery store. I am heavily inspired by gritty sci fi movies like Alien, District 9 and Elysium. I love world history and learning about how and why things are made the way they are.”

“Everything is thrifted: Kapital denim overall that's too big for me to wear as overalls, but work really well as denim chaps when cinched at the waist with my belt. The belt is made by myself. My jeans I found in a thrift shop with no name or tag attached – but clearly made with a lot of love. The top is a Kapital indigo dyed kimono jacket. The shoes are Onitsuka Tiger. I've been a preschool teacher for the last 5 years, and I take a lot of inspiration from the kids themselves and a little bit of Magic School Bus. I try to combine making fuctional wearable art with things that make the kids in my school smile and feel inspired to be a little weird and out there. I used to show up in suits and ties – and then one day one of my students showed up in a full Clifford outfit and it shook my core. What was I even doing, haha? So now I try to stretch imaginations with a lot of thrifted pieces or handmade things by my wife and I.”

“I picked this outfit to wear for a sidewalk ceramic sale I was vending at. I wanted this look to try and translate my ceramic style by choosing an earthen palette and layering assorted patterns in a way that gives a new context some of the garments. I’m wearing an assortment of all things thrifted. A long skirt in the same style my grandmother always wore. A black scarf layered over it as a mini skirt. A soft brown textured vest. A sheer beige scarf with a ring my friend made, containing an impression of my dog’s claw in it. Goggles I found on the bike path near my apartment.”
