One last photograph from my Runaway Runway adventure last Friday. Darling Eileen was not part of the fashion show on the stage, but nevertheless, shared the spirit of it: she made her skirt with old t-shirts she purchased for 50 cents on the pound. Her top seems to be another t-shirt, reshaped into a one-shoulder wrap around. Even the rose, I believe, is made of t-shirt scraps.
Eileen told me she was planning to stitch up more skirts and sell them at Sid & Nancy in Five Points. A charming way, perhaps, to make something of regrettable souvenirs? I fancy a kilt made of "and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" shirts.
