The visual history of every collection and every piece. I have produced collections to tell stories or to envelope a very subtle emotion with something tangible. From the very start the design was about delivering a wow... an effervescent dream with dark undertones and expansive mystique. 16 collection archives including original sketches, print work, workroom photos, runway videos, and a press archive with photos by Stephen Meisel, Nicola Fomichetti, and Albert Sanchez.

House Jugular inspiration editorial photos by Frank Armstrong.
Making the fliers defined the entire party...figuring out how to manifest the outragous claims the fliers always challenge production skills. All of the fun. Truth be told, the events were simply far more out of control than the printed material could ever portray. This archive contains flier art as well as my recollections of each event. Hand sprayed fliers meld into enormous costumes, money canons, trampolines, futuristic snot aliens, and exploding satanic riots. Endless late night hijinx perilously held together with massive pumping BASS. 1993- 2004 Catalog
A dedicated maker as early as kindergarten. I have always had an interest in the oversized, extreme, and downright strange. Love it or lunk it. Catalog
My Parents allowed me to paint a Lichtenstien mural on our garage door in Idaho, it was my brothers' basketball court. My mother sat on a kitchen chair in the alley while I painted at night to keep me company. The polaroid camera that took this photo was just like Andy Warhol's, so of course I loved it. My home life was filled with creativity, music, and a dreamlike obsession with all things wonderful.
