From fat to queer & beyond

I have always said that the thing that inspires me most as a designer is bodies — the way hemlines and sleeves cut the body to create interesting proportions, the way different fabrics create unique silhouettes around the body, and the way all of these things communicate more about who we are than we can possibly convey through just the body. This is probably why I have such a hard time designing things like shawls or accessories — I am not sure where to tether my creativity without the home base that is the body.
