Fashion Aprons

What are Fashion Aprons?

The Wearable Art Aprons that I create are one of a kind pieces of art that can be worn, washed and then hung on the wall as decoration. These are new, hip and cool fashion statements that are worn as an accessory over jeans and skirts. Yes they still can be worn in the kitchen but why stop there......
Trend scouts and shoppers from the East Coast have recently contacted me to inquire about these.
So who buys these?
I have had mothers buy them for their daughters, daughters buy them for their mothers, women buying them for themselves to wear to their corporate office.

What are these made from?

I break all the rules and combine any fabrics I choose to put together. I use silk, linen, cotton, sheers, gauze, metallics, fringe, ribbons, organza, taffetas, rayons, netting, saris and anything else that works artisticly. After the creation is made I vigoriously wash it with hot water and then ironed on the back side and carefully ironed on the right side. Some of the fiber; like the netting will melt and others will crinkle. Sometimes that is the look I am going for, but for care of your new art I would recommend ironing only on the backside.

Most of all choose a apron that appeals to you and enjoy, remember there are no rules when it comes to the wearing the New Apron.
