ABOUT
I assisted in design and fabrication of Nguyen Inc.’s New York fashion week show. We used upcycling techniques to transform jersey t-shirts into one-of-a-kind runway looks.
ACCESSORIES DESIGN
boondoggle charms & necklaces
Designed and constructed intricate crosses and chokers made from lanyard string.
SHOE DESIGN
about
The show was sponsored by Vans so we customized vans slip-ons and high tops for looks of the show.
process
I patterned slip-on uppers, studded them, and hand-sewed the uppers onto each shoe.
SEWING SAMPLES
one of one textiles & yarns
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.
