Deconstruction Shirt
Year: 2012
Medium: White T-shirt and beads
Details: In the fashion design and construction class I took at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago I was given an assignment to create something out of a plain white T-shirt. I did not cut the T-shirt at all. Instead I folded it and turned it different ways. The neck opening was originally a sleeve. The armhole was the neck. The part going down on the side was the other arm sleeve. My inspiration was the architecture of Chicago. I tried to replicate the orderly windows of buildings with organized folds and beads. My inspiration came from my personal photography of Chicago. I enjoyed this project because I took an object and redesigned it in many ways without taking it apart.
