After seeing Balenciaga's Spring line, we were inspired to make our own dress embodying geometric shapes. We put our scrap fabric to good use, and picked those that were most complimentary to one another. The construction was tedious, however, because each shape of fabric was sewn like a pocket. We were very happy with the final product, and felt that we captured what we wanted to accomplish.

I had a recent call from my grandfather, who told me in his excitement that he had found a Kipling book entitled "Kim" at a flee market from the early 1900s. This inspired me to create a collage with a vintage feeling, using fashion instead of words.
