Manufactured by Schwinn, Mike’s bike is a retro cruiser with a banana seat, springer front suspension fork, high rise handlebars, a rear “sissy” bar, and vintage whitewall tires.
Part of a recent commission by Noise Festival to jazz up their NoiseLab windows on Market Street, Manchester.
Made with a mixture of mountboard, posca and lots of fishing line.
This vignette was inspired by a mid-century dresser I redesigned several years ago and had sitting in the basement. Viktoria ($45) is my newest mannequin and came from an Escada boutique. She has an elegant, simple pose. I repaired her arm and spray painted her a satin, off-white color. The dress came from, but where else, Thrift Town and was 50% off the $4.00 price. It is very flapper and inspired me to use the bobbed wig from another mannequin. Her shoes are also from Thrift Town and were a wallet wrecking $6.00. The picture / backdrop was created by redoing an ugly 70's picture frame with white pain, silver leaf and antique silver glaze; and making artwork out of black, grey and silver metallic paper. The accessories on the dresser are yardsale finds (minus the textbook).
Program: Fashion Merchandising, Brooks College. Class: Visual Merchandising. This is the merchandising lab where the fashion merchandising students get hands-on experience. The clothes, props, mannequins and dress forms were sourced by me at a variety of places - even porn shops.
I believe I like creating props more than dressing mannequins. These picture frames are part of Sterling's hallway home, and if you peruse through the other pictures that include Sterling, you see that they change. The artwork was made with cardstock, gradiants of red paint chips, and a 1"-hole punch. The setting was inspired by the 1980's Von Furstenberg-style shirt dress found for $5.00 (a little steep) at Thrift Town. The ankle boots ($4.50) are camel-colored, patten leather and are way crazy. They too came from Thrift Town. The tights are from Goodwill and were $.99. Some of the fake flowers were painted country blue. The earrings were designed by me using polymer clay, rhinestones and glass beads.
