the third look.
Look three is a take on a traditional overall with a few extraneous details such as the African boubou tunic style low neck. The overall is made of a second hand canvas material with the wrong side being used for the right. The cuffs of the overalls are waxed with beeswax and are removable at the hem. The secondhand buttons throughout the garment are made of shell and horn. The inclusion of an overall served to be a symbol of what is traditionally considered a utility and resourceful garment in the Western world.
The knit sweater is made of second hand wool and nylon yarns and incorporates adjustability through the removable sleeves. I sought to create a texture that mimicked natural textures in nature such as a bumpy or ribbed bark. The trims are beads utilized as buttons that are made from seeds and wood.
