This dress was inspired by the student in my sociology class who thought that all feminists were hairy and butch. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that a feminist can wear whatever the fuck she or he (or both or neither) feels like wearing. My sociology professor loved the dress and she gave me extra credit! I used a potato stamp to make the print, I used a vintage pattern to make the dress, and I embroidered the phrase “This is what a feminist looks like” on the bodice.

THIS IS BRILLIANT.  (thanks Kate for Pinning it!)

Pia Interlandi is a Melbourne fashion designer who creates unique Garments For The
Grave; beautiful outfits to be buried in. Her designs are tailored from fabrics that fuse with the body over time through the natural process of decay.

In addition to fashion design, Pia’s practice incorporates dressing the body and guiding loved ones through the death process. She is a licensed funeral celebrant and PhD candidate. Her garments are fully customizable: the wearer may choose to dye, embroider with poetry or lyrics, print images, stitch in pockets for letters or mementos, or to leave it very clean.

Pia’s work is part of a new wave of funeral customs in Australia and around the world, which seek a personalized experience of death in honouring of life; as well as the emerging “Natural earth burial” movement, which places the body in closer context with nature.

In June, a documentary team will follow Pia and her client as they collaborate on a garment for burial. The finished film, SOUL, will be a part of the award winning Anatomy Arts series, made for the ABC. The film will explore the idea of what our soul is, where it goes after death vis-à-vis Pia’s own art practice.

We are currently seeking an individual to collaborate with the designer on a garment for their own burial, for filming in June 2012.

NZ ladies!

I am selling a fantastic pair of ankle boots on TradeMe. Bought in a moment of weakness, I love them, they are so comfortable, but I’ve only worn them twice for about an hour each cause they’re just not me. :( I want them to go to a good home and be worn all the time by someone who loves them.

If you know anyone who’s looking for a great pair of boots, please pass this on!
