Mirror Headboard
2022
role
designer & maker
ABOUT
I created a headboard for my bedroom based on two vintage mirrors I found on craigslist. They used to hang in a jewelry store on the Upper West side and I love how they defy uniformity.
IDEATION
shape
The shape is based on the angle of the mirrors bottom edge to the ground.
FABRICATION
plywood shaping
I shaped the rounded edges of the headboard with a jig saw on my Aunt's fire escape.
SEWING SAMPLES
I made yarn from jersey t-shirts sourced from thrift stores. The strands were used in the long fringe skirts and knitted up to be mini skirts. In addition, I created yardage from donated white t-shirts (see top, middle).
construction
I assisted in cutting and sewing many of these looks for the show.
