We noticed over the past year or so
you switched the name of your company what is the story behind that?
Any good designer is open to the ebb and
flow of life; their designs reflect societal
changes. With my couture company being in
its infancy and as I was moving away from
post-apocalyptic art, I felt that Chrome Petals better represented the raw delicacy of the
streamlined designs. It signifies the darkness
taking hold and thus light revealing it, the
ancient and modern influences, the soft brush
and razor-sharpness, the yin and yang-- the
balance of life. It’s edgy, it’s chic; I love it.
If you could pick any top model to
dress in your brand who would that
be?
My friend Rain Dove, who is fantastic and
always an inspiration to me; she perseveres
against all odds. Rain goes against the
stream of what’s socially expected and is
redefining the mode of “models” as we speak
as an all-time androgynous model. Because
it’s just about how sassy you can own those
clothes, right? facebook.com/raindovemodel
What is your favorite fashion week?
Paris Fashion Week-- the French are ahead
of the curve indefinitely and are the
original couturiers.
How long have you been an
artist?
I‘ve always had a creative flair,
which involved cutting my microbangs at the age of 4 before a dance
recital; my mother loved this (not).
Quaintly enough, this was the year
that my grandmother taught me
how to sew. And… I’ve carried the
style with me. Go figure.
