I painted and bewigged my cousin. And then he fell to earth!

maison d'être lookbook, Fall 2011

maison d'être is the collective title for my artist's armory. I experiment with a lot of creative methods and individuals (government name: "art whore"), and the result is a lot of things that are not rooted directly in traditional media. Textiles tend to factor heavily in these experiments, and so I decided to fashion an umbrella under which all of these projects can fall. maison d'être is the haus of everything that isn't a painting.

After months of conceptualization and dirty hands, I have launched my first official wearable collection: a selection of repurposed vintage jackets and sweaters. It is an evolving set, with new pieces slated for release throughout the season. Which basically means that I had an attack of ideas after we shot, and so there are more dogfight styles comin atcha.

These styles are available for a brief pre-sale at the weekend. Go to my shop for them details!
