What is this about? How does it work?

In a nutshell, each member choose a garment to be altered/embellished and passed it off round robin to the other members via the mail to be further altered. It is an art project and an experiment really. The garment could be almost anything, old or new, a 3-piece suit, a sari, your grandmothers fur coat, a sweater, a hat, an old cocktail dress, a straight jacket, plether bondage wear, etc. etc.

The sky is the limit in terms of what one can do to alter the garments. We ask that if the original owner requests the garment be kept to its original size - so that it is still wearable.

Right now we try to send the garments on to the next person once a month - on the 15th. It is a slow process but we are getting there. We are about 1/2 done with the cycle.

Once we are done with the circle we plan to exhibit the garments in LA and NYC sometime in 2005.
