Want a chance to own something off a runway? This shirk is one of a kind and will never be made again.
This skirt is made out of a beautifully weighted upholstery fabric. In a deep red with black undertones. The skirt is full length and has wonderful movement due to the many folds of fabric. There is a large velvet snake decorating the front of the skirt along with two large side pockets and a zipper in the back.
Hanging all over the skirt is white flowers and testosterone bottles. They have been cleaned and sanitized. They create fun movement for the whole skirt.
Measurements-
Comfortably fits a 31-35 waist
Hips 42 at most
Artist Statement -
I wanted to include a long skirt in the collection as I often feel the most masculine in them, however I didn’t have anything else in my brain beyond that. As I drafted and created the skirt it started to take on a victorian style, and the image of a victorian war nurse came to me. (I had also just read Angel Down by Daniel Kraus, so that might have tied into the inspiration)
For me, the Garden of Eden depicts a multifaceted nature, curiosity, knowledge and the serious repercussions of disobedience and deviation from the mainstream. It reflects the complexities of human choice and asks us to question the nature of sin.
I decided to incorporate testosterone vials into this skirt to represent the fruit hanging from the tree of knowledge. I was scared when I first started hormones. I still wasn’t 100% I was transgender. I was constantly doubting myself. Despite my doubt and fear I knew that something needed to change. I needed to take action to keep myself alive.
