FW22 // baby florals
collection OO1

now available at
field trip goods | empire, mi

creating a cohesive collection is one of the most thrilling experiences
no matter how many pieces complete the set

while fashion is an innately visual experience
the consumer equally focuses on the tactile nature

the marriage of color, shape, drape & texture builds interest, artfulness & comfort

today, the “baby florals” collection finds its temporary home in field trip goods
the most lovely of limbos a seamster like myself could wish for his

cloth babies

THE CYCLE | a poem

bundles in disarray
arms full
dewy face sheepish
salvages tightly folded
stacked high under chin
eyes bugged wide
”whatchya makin”

crisp creases tumbled
in sudsy swirls
hot air softens
iron’s steamy poof
cut then sew
cut then sew
cut then sew
iron
stare
visualize
cut then sew

library ladies
voted ”loudest in the peninsula”
how many people
does it take
to print
double-sided
clothing labels

take a guess
it’s four

rear view mirror
second row babes
precariously swinging
leelanau roads

rattan hangers
arrange
straighten
linger
running fabric between fingers
months of work in one place
hug
empty backseat
sigh with a smile

pushes door halfway
5O% off purple tag
bell ring
arms full
stacked high
"back for more?”
