This bodysuit is composed by 27 motifs, as you can see, a dinosaur, stars, a heart… As we look at this romper we see 24h of design and conceptualization and 86 hours of knitting and embroidering, it took six people to make this piece and a pound or so of wool.

200 hour dress

Can you imagine a 200 hours dress? Here it is, a dress that took no more and no less than 200h to be completed. It started with hand-dip-dying fabrics, having said fabric permanent press pleated by permanent press pleat specialists and ended with constructing the top layer of one skirt from nine separate permanent press pleat pieces. The process is excruciating, but the final results are breathtaking, don’t you think?
