Created for the 80th Annual Collections Fashion Show at Stephens College, OSHA Violation is an avant-garde ensemble for a collaborative collection designed to open that year's fashion show. The theme was Construct, celebrating 80 years of the Stephens College Fashion Program, how it was built, and how we build the future we want, both literally and metaphorically. OSHA Violation was my contribution, made with construction net, hand-dyed and surfaced designed linen, black spandex knit, and nylon webbing. With hundreds of rows of careful pintucking, meticulously designed to line up with the construction net, this project is a labour of love, and an exploration of safety, risk, and exposure. Modeled by Annie Tomlinson.
