BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

FOR DESIGNERS:

Dear white & non-Black POC designers
Where are the Black designers?
Decolonial Teaching in Action

FOR EVERYONE:

Anti-Racist Resource Guide: Become a better ally
A Radical Library (incl. books, texts, podcasts, & articles)
How to talk to people who disagree
How to support Black artists

While doing this project, I was able to photograph women of different body types to show my viewers that we all come in different sizes compared to what we see in clothing ads and on social media. Photos have been in halftones for the audience to focus on their shape.
These are the bags that contain the garment pieces that buyers could purchase individually. They can piece together what bodice and sleeve size they prefer which then could be sewn together.
Instruction cards on how to sew the bodice and sleeve patterns together. These are placed inside of the sleeve pattern bags.
