I live with 2 extraordinary women. Lindsay Clark and Jenna Fakhoury. I have worked with both of them in various dance companies, and now we occupy a spacious 3 bedroom in Brooklyn, where I do most of my work. Here are some images from the years I spent dancing with these women.
These days, I am not on stage dancing with Lindsay and Jenna... though they continue to work as 2 of the finest female dance performers in New York.... So now... I have them be my models for various projects I am working on.....
To thank them for their generosity in helping me to see my progress.... I will occasionally make them special pieces they can have and keep.
I can't thank these ladies enough. I am sure there will be lots of clothes for them to try on in the future... and hopefully I will have lots more custom made couture garments to give them in return........
When I don't have one of their bodies to use..... sometimes I have to resort to my own.........
I was having dinner with David Hallberg this evening. He is one of my closest friends, and one of very few who people in my life who is as interested in fashion as I am. David is really knowledgeable in many areas of the arts, and he helps keep me aware of what is going on... as I can sometimes get lost in my own process and thoughts. I don't do it as much as I should... but seeing the art of others is so important in my process as a designer. Anyways...... I have been reading a book that Harriet Jung gave me for graduation about Geoffrey Beene. He was a very important American fashion designer who I plan on blogging about very soon... Getting back on track...... Geoffrey Beene often used dancers as models for his clothes..... and David has had the good fortune of being photographed in fashion editorials in recent years..... Is this making any sense now?
The dancer as model is the subject for this blog. Seeing the movement of clothing is always fascinating to me... and who better to illustrate that.... than a dancer. Enter David...... and here we go.. Pictures.
This is a photo from L'Uomo Vogue, March 2012
