My 2017 Her Universe Fashion Show entry, the Heart of Te Fiti, based on Disney’s Moana. Completely hand beaded and stitched with all natural fabrics. Each layer was inspired by traditional tapa cloth and images and motifs from the film, every element hand crafted and top stitched in. It was important to me to maintain an organic nature so every stitch and blemish is still visible. The bottom layer, meant to emulate the water that surrounds the island goddess, features a waterfall, water patterns pulled from “You’re Welcome,” and a special homage to one of my biggest inspirations–my grandmother. My jewelry pieces were custom made by Delight and Rage, who created a glowing heart necklace, Maui and moana inspired earrings, and a sailing knot bracelet and ring.

‘Annville’s Revival’ Preacher Inspired dress from the Her Universe Fashion show at San Diego Comic Con 2017. It features a church like angular shape, with hand quilted silk ‘stained glass’ panels and characters. Each panel is attached to the black skirt and then over 100 yards of rhinestones were laid over each seam to create the black ‘leading’ seen in stained glass windows. The top has hand made lace that was embellished with glass beads and rhinestones, with the center being a cross framed by laser cut black mirror. The back hook and eye style closures are western scroll silver conchos, with match the silver western scroll cup details on the front, an ode to Jesse’s silver shirt tips. To complete the look I created the Saint of Killer’s choker collar, complete with ‘State of Texas’ conchos.

another gorgeous photo of ‘Annville’s Revival’ a Preacher inspired dress from the Her Universe ‘Geek Couture’ Fashion show. The dress takes Tulip, Jesse, Cassidy, Arseface, Fiore and DeBlance to church in the church shaped angular gown, complete with sterling silver bra cups and a Saint of Killers choker collar. The dress is 100% silk with hand made lace and handbeaded embellishments, including laser cut black mirror pieces along the very center bodice. Each silk panel represents a different character and were all quilted together and then embellished by hand with over 100 yards of black diamond rhinestone. The dress took approximately four months to complete, and when in motion, the panels invert, allowing Jesse Custer, the center panel, and Tulip’s car, the back panel, to be prominent, gliding effortless above the model’s pink vintage Tony Lamas.  Photo by Jennifer Maher
