This “chinchilla” dress is completely hand painted.

To make this design, we worked with a graffiti tagger named Mosquito who would wreak havoc on Dallas at night and then come to our factory during the day and work his airbrush magic. This dress was white satin to start. Mosquito would lay straight pins down on cardboard strips, airbrush into them until a little bit of ink got onto end of the pins, and then he’d flip it and pull it to create the hair streaks.
