Jennifer Gilomen - Upcycled Female Jacket and Pant Combo
Modeled by Amelia Lachowski
Billboard Artwork by Janet Croog
Featured in ArtPop’s 5th Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser
Inspired by Janet Croog’s tiger from cut paper, this is one of Jennifer’s all-time favorite billboards. She is drawn to the elegant lines and shapes created by white paper and its shadows.
Jennifer’s fashion design is modeled by Amelia Lachowski. Amelia is showcasing a jumpsuit with a jacket. Jennifer says she was inspired by the artist’s use of line and shadow.
Her intention with her design is to create a dynamic piece that moves with the elegant shapes and shadows that she sees in her paper cutting.
