Producing a transformative garment is both challenging and rewarding-- the challenge being to create a false silhouette that is comfortable, the reward being the satisfaction of having produced a garment that empowers its wearer. The foundation is the success (or failure) of a costume!

​

     I am particularly drawn to male corsetry. There is nuance in accentuating a traditionally male form with a traditionally feminine garment., and my aesthetic leans toward a more conical and (inverted) triangular silhouette when producing corsets for male-presenting bodies. The juxtaposition of gender expression becomes even more blurred yet somehow further accentuates the fem and masc qualities of both wearer and garment.
