LICHEN PREVIEW







I'm currently working on a little capsule collection for this fashion show on February 25th but more on that later. I've gotten really inspired by this special moss called LICHEN that is only found in some of the most extreme environments on Earth like the arctic tundra, hot deserts, rocky coasts and toxic slag heaps. I only have about 3 pieces done so far, so I really have to get going, but here's a little preview:

Just a basic tee, but super long and narrow, it hits about 3 inches past the waist, and has a moon hem. The texture of the fabric is just perfect, it completely encompasses my inspiration, because of it's sheerness, it looks as though lichen is actually growing on the person, something i find so beautiful.



This is the other 2 pieces that i've done, a cropped tee shirt that i LOVE because it looks like a crumpled paper bag or treebark? It was initially made big, but it was too stiff so i washed it and it came out like this, so much better in my opinion. The skirt i made tonight, I think it's adorable. Reminiscent of a petticoat? but in this amazing mint color.
Basically this is the color scheme; a transition from mint to beige to burnt orange.

Tell me what you think!
