Anna Daedalus

Synthetic Sylph

junk to funk dress by Anna Daedalus and Tiffany Yelton

Costume collaboration with Tiffany Yelton for the first annual Junk to Funk recycled fashion show, Portland, 2006.

Anna wears a skirt of plastic veneer printed with faux wood grain, salvaged from a local factory by her collaborator Tiffany, a couture-savvy environmental inspector. A newspaper petticoat fills in the understory. In keeping with the sylvan theme, pop-bottle plastic leaves adorn Anna's retired-bedsheet top laced with pillow piping. Her hat sports a junk-mail bird resting in a shredded paper nest.
