Project Green.

Stephanie and I created this garment for Art Basel Miami. It was so exciting to finally do a garment of our own on such a huge scale. We could only use environment-friendly fabrics and our inspiration was the romance of nature and the appreciation we have for it.We also wanted to show how beautiful being green can be and look Our garment was made from 100% silk and the roses from silk dupioni. The fabric all came in white,so we had to dye it all. We used teabags, wine,onions to create the colors of the rose and dress. We spent around two months creating this garment,or less. The roses we did by hand and sewed each one on, and Stephanie got sick while we were sewing them on, and she was just like this cant be happening to me now.but we got her some Tylenol, and it was off to work. The day finally came where we had to present them. Stephanie and I were so excited, our model Talisa was amazing and the event went very well and the next day our entire fashion class came out in our local newspaper The Miami Herald!Later on, we presented our garment at Miami Fashion Week, which our close friend Leah modeled.It was her first time walking a runway and she did great, and loved it.
