Laser cut leather
Most of the details for this leather two-piece outfit were inspired by things I’ve been learning thus far from bag making. I included close up photos of the jacket’s details first because that was where the design actually started, from bag construction elements…Press stud snaps (a closure common for bags), suede bands and burnishing were used throughout, and these were all things I was using at the time whilst constructing bags-In fact I’ve learned a lot from making bags that I’m excited to apply the bag making process to clothes…. I didn’t turn many seams inside out for this jacket, especially around the edges- most of the suede edges and layers were cut and burnished with leather chemicals for that smooth and sealed look, then top stitched– a method which is used often for bag straps and handles. Also, there were a shortage of wearable leather jackets in my closet! Of course the inspiration wasn’t just about how to apply bag making tricks to garments, but the laser cut leather itself. I was immediately attracted to its holey texture, this made for a very lightweight two-piece. I like uniforms too which is why I decided to go ahead with a matching skirt, didn’t know what else to do with leftover leather.
**Wearing Luxirare leather two piece suit, luxirare stingray clutch, black jeans, and demonia boots.
This is just “beautiful”
Loving these pieces. Laser cut leather is always great. I like the skirt especially! x
wow, perfection! This piece is just art.
that jacket is so awesome!
gorgeous! i like the laser cut compared to just flat leather, it makes it appear more youthful maybe? not quite the right word but it conveys the feeling..
where do you get your leather materials from/what machine do you use to craft with them?
I’m in awe! The detailing is impeccable! You never fail me! GENIUS.

The jacket is spectacular. With the suede trim it reminds me of a biker chick’s version of the classic Chanel boucle jacket.
Hayhay!

You chopped your locks!
Yes! Thank god finally!!
Oh gosh.. I need… now.
Kind of like a mixture of a straitjacket, a superhero costume and something Michael Jackson would’ve worn. Sci-fi biker girl maybe? Totally cool.
Your work is always so amazing and inspiring!
This one reminds me of a villain from Star Trek or something.. I mean that as a compliment! The arm bands are removable – am I right? I love the idea of incorporating removable elements into a design.

I’m starting to believe that you’re actually some sort of mad fashion scientist…these are insane!

Amazing. Genius. Inspiring. You are so talented. It’s totally unfair
Do you recomended any wear/place to learn bag making?
I love this! The straps bring to mind your Michael Jackson suit, but with more of a rock & roll vibe. Also, you make Demonias look so wearable, somehow. Envious.
ughhh flipping AMAZING post <33333333333333333333333333
wow…this is pretty bad ass…
appreciate the effort you put into making such great pictures of the details
hello, urban warrior.

Amazing, your artisan skills are stunning! Were you inspired by Ghesquieres Balenciaga for this? I can see several references, especially with the wrapped skirt and the sporty-utility details.
No actually not at all though I can see where you’re coming from.
FABULOUS – Been waiting to see what you come up with next,and this was totally worth the wait. Love, love, love the details on the Jacket!
looks so comfy! the work is definitely in the details. I have this sneaky feeling that you somehow work for annD or something. Your style is so parallel to what she does.Cute cutouts of yourself and the asymmetry of the skirt is great for the balance of the whole outfit together.
Magnifique! I am utterly impressed by everything you do & more.
That is so insanely badass! Love the closures!
What beautiful pieces! Stunning pictures aswell.
I love the leather, great jacket for fall!
Someone already mentioned this, but exactly what was on my mind: classic Chanel meets biker. Classic and modern elements together work really well when done right, and you have done it once again! I love to see your work, thank you!
These are so sick. I love the details you put in for the garments, and also how you photograph them. Sheer genius.
dig the jacket! gorgeous details. you don’t always think of light and breathable leather–great find!
also, not to be creepy, but i saw this over on the sartorialist and thought of you–the sheer coat on the right looks almost like something that you would have dreamt up: http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/C2W.jpg
love the pieces, the photos, as well as the great presentation / flow of succession of pictures…
excuse my language, but your fucking brilliant!
I love dotted laser cut leather! I think it’s very pretty! Amazing two pieces!
One of my favorite photographs has to be the one with the mirrored mini leather silhouette cut outs of yourself! Genius!
Where did you get the shoes?
I have never commented in your blog, but this jacket deserves it ( so do the hermes collier du chien you are rocking)… I applause your design view… truly outstanding… bravo girl!
One understands that life seems to be high priced, but people require cash for various things and not every person gets enough cash. Thence to get fast loan or short term loan will be good solution.
do you have any motorcycle leathers? i need a motorcycle outfit.
