2011-08-27T17:25:00.000-07:00

Just another boring weekend with nothing to do but to go through my closet and play dress-up. This look was inspired by the dresses with the horse hair trimming in the Helmut Lang Fall 2004 show (I couldn't find any good pictures to share). I used these very large pleated pants and transformed them into a "dress" with help of suspenders which I used a "harness". For the horse hair trimming I cut

2011-08-22T19:42:00.000-07:00
