B.T.W Baby
This look was made in my Experimental fashion course. We were prompted to make an ensemble out of tyvec that took advantage of the volume that the material allows. I drew inspiration from the artist Lady Gaga who conveyed fashion fluidity. I wanted to incorporate the accentuated hips and shoulders to represent both male and female power roles.
The tyvec that was given to me was black and a weird yellowish color. I knew that if I were making a lady Gaga inspired piece it need to stand out! That's why I immediately went to the store and bought some spray paint. I made a laser cut stencil of the Born This Way Album logo so I could utilize that in the look aswell.
Since tyvec holds shape so much I wanted to make this look as BIG as possible. In the end lots of volume came through.
