a little bit of cream.............

miss velvet cream : Scatha G. Allison

Scatha G. Allison is a San Francisco based artist and designer who established the line 'miss velvet cream' in 2003. With a background in painting, installation and mixed-media work, she is known for a clothing style that embodies her 'neo-archiac' philosophy, taking structure and silouettes from the late 1800s and from traditional folk costumes worldwide, and infusing them with her own structured and layered modern street style. Scatha G. Allison has established herself as an avant-garde San Francisco designer creating one-of-a-kind custom items, and specializing in couture techniques and salvage reconstruction.
miss velvet cream is currently available in San Francisco boutique Venus Superstar and by appointment in her atelier.

chew on this..................

"people are always making reference to the past, but my own thought takes place in the present, in all its depth and reality. i would like to help shake our age up a bit. i want to find that strength. that's what makes my work stimulating. but it's difficult. i always find it difficult to speak about the future. how will people dress in a few decades' time? and since we can't seperate dress from the rest of society, that question becomes, "what will life be like, and society?" i simply think that the present moment is a bit behind itself. put another way, the way we think, the way we live and dress has constantly to be projected a little into the future."
