Magic Garden Shift Dress 

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to design clothing. This mainly comes from a place of wanting to wear something really specific, only to find out that what I dream.. doesn't actually exist. I love making clothes for myself, even though I'm terrible at math and even more dreadful on a sewing machine, I persevere still.

My love for print and pattern on fabric and textiles in particular comes from my high school days - from admiring Japanese kimono design spurred by my Japanese class to just general making strange outfits. Digging around in the local craft store, or in the second hand stores looking for strange fabric to make clothing from - unique fabric. I still have a skirt made from thick floral upholstery fabric (yeah, it does look like a lampshade..). Hell, I even bought a tiny infant turtle-neck because it had a seriously bad-ass space print thing going on (not a baby person - no way), with dreams of turning it into a coin-purse (because that's a completely logical though process you guys).

I'm digressing but what I'm trying to say in general is that the itch and desire to make clothes has always been there. It's been particularly painful to deal with the seperation from my sewing machine, because when I want to get away from drawing & the computer - sewing becomes my outlet. And while my dreams of maybe, just maybe one day having my own label or own range of rad products seems super far away.. in the mean time I've been designing prints for PRINTALLOVER.ME

PAOM is basically a sweet service for artists and creatives to put their images upon different clothing items. All items are made-on-demand so there is a couple of weeks turn around time. I really really appreciate services like this because it gives artists an option to create things they dream about, quickly & easily. Without further ado I present my first lookbook for my PAOM store.

All items are available for purchase on my PAOM store here. I will be periodically updating the store with random bits and bobs as well as new designs. I hope you like them! In any case it's been an absolute joy to make these so far, they have been swimming in my head a long long time.
