I believe that people of all sizes should have really great clothing choices, and it’s frustrating that that doesn’t exist, so I make it exist.” Everyday life often holds new adventures and surprises for Miss E and she counts this as a driving force in her creativity. “Every day that comes to me is a new adventure. I have zero idea what’s going to happen next and who I’m going to meet. The day always brings really interesting stuff…. sometimes you walk into the wrong store and end up with a photoshoot, or you meet somebody with a really cool car, or you meet somebody who needs a crazy pair of shoes made…you don’t know what’s going to happen…so I just roll with the punches and see where I land.” Miss E also emphasizes that she is always trying new things with her “rogue sewing.” For example, “what’s going to happen if you cut this pair of shoes in half? You will never know unless you try, right?” As her knowledge base of working without patterns and with unconventional materials and styles has evolved, her ideas have gotten more and more epic. As long as she can imagine something, she can probably figure out a way to do it. Likewise, her advice to budding seamstresses/designers/artists is to just be “open to adventure and have a positive mindset that this thing is going to turn out. Eventually you’re going to get there, and it will be awesome in the end.” @madame_absinthe 55 inspadesmag.com
