Earlier this summer I did a fun collaboration with
my friend Jennifer Parry Dodge of ERMIE
The project started with a casual hang-out at Jennifer's home where
she had tons of fabric and dyes for me to play around with.
Jennifer turned those experiments into a couple of one-of-a-kind
Ermie dresses. She also photographed the textiles, kaleidoscoped
the image, photoshoped the color around and created digitally
printed textiles in 2 different colorways.
In the photos below you can see the original painting on the raw silk,
the model rocking one of the Ermie dresses with
Cheryl Cambras' rope necklace for Ermie's online shop,
the sleeveless version in a radically altered colorway, and me
in one of the dresses at Cacao Mexicatesen for some huevos rancheros.
The heavy cotton jersey Jennifer chose for the dresses is so
comfy and wears so well. I'll definitely be wearing these a lot this fall.
JPD has built the Ermie blog and online shop
around the spirit of collaboration, generosity and
a quest for beauty and joy in daily life.
