Secret Colours

My friends are in the band Secret Colours and I was asked to be the model for their debut album cover. It was so exciting because I got to design the fabric and actually make the dress from a vintage pattern. The pattern of the dress is inspired by the psychedelic movement of the 1960’s. It’s so badass!


Their album is currently streaming online!

If you live in the Chicago-Area, you can catch Secret Colours with Gold Motel on June 11th at Lincoln Hall!

These two dresses are my personal favorite! The cut outs are still futuristic even 40+ years later!
