miss velvet cream is about freedom, communication, integrity, commitment and experimentation. i design the neo-archaic; pieces that embody silhouettes of the past with dreams of the future, all bridged by the conscious present. reconstruction is a recent project for me, translating the literal past in garments and discarded pieces from someone else into a radically new form is my intention. i'd like to see conscious consumption in our society. i'd like to see artisans recognized and respected for their essential contribution to culture. i am committed to local economies, global communities and respect for the individual.

in this brief introduction to transformation, we're going to work exclusively in discarded denim. participants will be introduced to a range of recoup ideas, with a special emphasis on using as much as possible, modernizing old styles and shades, and working with the raw, deconstructed characteristics of worn denim that make it so interesting. we will work on unisex items. recommended : bring at least 3 discarded denim items from the swap pile. together we'll cut a pattern and after the workshop we may be able to work together at the stitch lounge sewing area.
