The inspiration.
I had pinned this image to my wall while studying Studio Art at Oberlin College. Later, while living in NYC, I came across an original 1960s “Eye” Poster Dress for sale by a street vendor — for $2. Needless to say, I snatched it up and wore it to the opening of Nan Goldin's "I'll Be Your Mirror" exhibition at the Whitney Museum. Legendary society photographer, Bill Cunningham, snapped me in it for The New York Times Style section!
