Gothic?

Haven't been putting as much work as I'd like to up. Sharpening my aesthetic, it's though integrating fashion, illustration, type and motion graphics together simultaneously. I'm working as an assistant to Nancy Reigelman at the moment, doing an independent study with her that coincides with the direction of her Fashion Illustration: Gothic class. 

Theme: Gothic (redefining it - approaching the idea of goth as romanticized warmth and decay instead of goth gimmicks)

Current work in progress: Paper Dress made out of grocery bags. Influenced by Charles James (interchangeable dress parts), Rodarte (emphasis on rough surface texture and compilation), Dior haute couture 2005 (Tim Burton themed one!)....never made a dress before (or anything for that matter)...Hopefully it'll all come together.
