Vivi Article: Musical Corset Belt. This came about after imagining what wearing a musical motif might look like. I wanted to make a corset and I realized that corset strings could be strung like a musical staff.
Vivi Article: Tattoo Bag. I found this leather purse at Goodwill. I first printed out the "Sentinel Eternal" text at the local cafe, and then "tattooed" it onto the leather skin. I like the word 'sentinel' -- in the context of an algorithm, the sentinel value is used to signal termination. I also like the idea of a guard who keeps watch forever... the eternal observer.
Vivi Article: Two-Tone Ribbon Cargo Pants. Feminine ribbon element on masculine cargo pants. I was too lazy to sew, so this one is held together with safety pins, but I think the pins add to the deconstructed look.
Vivi Article: Corset Top. I like when an article of clothing looks like a bit of a challenge to put on. I also like the contrast between elegant and sexy in this piece.
Vivi Article: Zipper Shorts. The first shorts I ever made. These shorts were constructed during a hot summer so the front zippers are to allow for additional ventilation.
Diesel x Vivi Article. I found this plain indigo Diesel T-shirt secondhand, and decided to add some embellishments so that it could become a unique shirt that I would more often wear.
Vivi Article: Faded Longsleeve Tee. I reworked this thrifted shirt to be a bit more cropped and apocalyptic looking.
