OUR TOP 10 LISTS

10. Reptilian 3 Piece Camel Hair Velvet and Leather Suit

This suit was my entre to NY. This piece was in one of my first collections and was featured in the group GenArt show “Designers For the New Millennium” in 1999. Honestly, it was made three years prior to the show and people still order it. It definitely stands the test of time. I love unusual textile combinations. This was one of my first couture samples.

9. Corseted Geometric Concept Gown

8. Chemise Dress with Cinched Belt

Another unusual texture combination. I use Georgette, a very soft fabric, and leather to add something very rigid. The ensemble consists of a silk under-dress, a chemise dress, and a cinched belt. All of which can be worn together or separately.

7. Cowl hooded Dress

What I love about this dress is that it is so simple and versatile. It can be worn at least 6 different ways. Or more depending on how creative you are.

6. Corset Lined Dress

This dress in particular was made for Amanda Lepore out of nude material and encrusted by hand with clear crystals beads. This is my favorite version of this dress, however, I have made many versions of this it. And always will.

5. Mosaic Mirrored Catsuits

We originally made these catsuits for Marc Jacobs’ Christmas party in the early 2000s. As they essentially create human disco balls, they have managed to catch the eyes and minds of many event producers and performers and have since traveled the world. They were originally inspired by my love for Pierre Cardin.

4. Lapel Corset Dress

This is the perfect LBD. It works in any color, print and body shape. I made this version out of windowpane plaid silk taffeta. It was quite a challenge to line up the plaid and the numerous amount of diverging seams perfect.

3. Corseted Cave Girl Tunic

Savage yet futuristic, this aubergine suede tunic cinches down to 20” and is my current obsession. This fantasy is definitely not for the weak hearted.

2. Modern Edwardian Jacket

I made this one out of black double-faced cashmere. I love this jacket because it can be worn up or down. It pairs just as well with jeans as it does an evening gown.

1. Tie on Tulle Skirt
