DRESS MAKEOVER

This was a quick project completed during my Advanced Image Making class this week. We were given very out of date dresses and were told to make them "modern". The project arose out of discussion about Modernism and modernity, and what the distinctions between the two are.


Amy, Yongmin, and I transformed the dress by taking off length, adding functionality to the dress with pockets and a feature that allowed you to change the length of the dress on the sides. We also added some new fabric, and spray painted over the original color and pattern of the dress which was absolutely hideous. I wish I had a picture of the original dress, didn't come to mind while it was all happening.
