rodarte summer

one goal i've placed on myself this summer is to create some light, gauzy, maybe even floral/lace clothes. skeleton-animal-tusk-bone-white, creeam-puff-pastry-white-and-cream. after reading the biography of Remedios Varo, Unexpected Journeys, by Janet Kaplan, and finding out all about her life before she started spitting out those miniature masterpieces,... as a designer for the ballet, and how she made almost everything she wore, i've decided i've really got to try that out. of course, it'll be a long while before i have even a few pieces of clothing i've made myself that can actually be worn out of the house. in any case, i'm going into this project heavily influenced by rodarte:

4. I pray all the time, sometimes just to things, the earth, the stars, the saints, a feeling, some unknown deity
