Alexander Lieberman - Upcycled Military Utility Dress
Modeled by Rahquelah Conyers
Billboard Artwork by Claire Keister
Featured in ArtPop’s 5th Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser
Signal Interference is a couture dress constructed entirely from a repurposed vinyl billboard featuring Claire Keister’s vibrant artwork. The design merges the rigid structure of military utility with the opulence of Elizabethan fashion, creating a bold, futuristic silhouette grounded in history and function.
The dress features a structured A-line shape, oversized utility pockets, and dramatic quarter-length bishop sleeves that extend into integrated fingerless gloves. A wide-brimmed visor, modeled here by Rahquelah Conyers, completes the look amplifying the garment’s utilitarian roots. LED lights, embedded beneath repeating AWL logo cutouts and installed in collaboration with Super Daft Bros, bring the garment to life on the runway.
Signal Interference is a high-impact fusion of craftsmanship, sustainability, and bold visual storytelling, transforming repurposed materials into a striking expression of personal style and purpose.
