La Calavera Catrina, 2017. Satin, Cotton, Sequins, EmbroideryThese robes aim to re-brand imperialistic iconography as symbols of empowerment and persistence. I looked at the role of clothing during the Chicano Movement in East LA to inform the creation of these robes to adorn and protect the individual. The highly ornamented pieces are meant to prepare the individual to live in power, with confidence and pride.
