hey!

here is a sneak look at several pieces i am creating for voltage this year…prepare your self.

my theme evolves around the midwestern pioneer women and all their bad ass-ness. think annie oakley and clamity jane given the attire they deserve for being so fantastic. fashions from their era were obviously simple, practial and rather mundane (and you will surely see elements of this pulled in to my line.) i could not help but think of how amazing everything these women stood behind and everything that stood in front of them was…just how so phenominally bad ass they were…this is exactly what i was trying to capture in my collection. i threw in a heavy metal, punk rock edge because i believe they visually deserve that. with a rifle strung around one arm and a baby on their hip, these women helped lay down the foundations for what now today is our country.

seriously. what bad ass beauties.
