Start by sharing the story
A SLATE CONNECT STORY
This jacket was passed down from her mother when she was a child. Now, she wanted to give it to her own child.
The memories, stories, and emotions attached to it were irreplaceable.
The jacket was completely damaged, so I preserved the original materials, rebuilt its structure, and transformed it into a timeless garment she could wear, cherish, and eventually pass down again.
The story continues.
SLATE CONNECT
Material Preparation & Integration.
Materials will be assessed under the Preparation Process to evaluate the best use and placement of the material.
Material Preparation for stabilization, reinforcement areas, disassembly, reconstruction, cleaning, configuration, or any special preparation for construction.
SLATE CONNECT - EIGHT MATERIALS
Eight materials. Eight beginnings. One continuous story.
Hand-stitched from eight materials used in my first design pieces, this jacket brings fragments of my earliest work together into something new.
Eight represents infinity, the continuation of story, ideas, materials, and craftsmanship beyond the original creation.
A connection between where the work began and where it continues to live.
