| KIRSTEN HILLER (Austrian-American) | ||
|
I am half American half Austrian, was born in Vienna Austria and moved to Texas at the age of five. I grew up in a small town called Breckenridge TX which has a population of about 5000. There wasn’t much to do there so I kept myself busy by constantly making things, sewing and drawing. When I was 17 my mother and I decided to move back to Vienna because she wanted to become a missionary to work with children and refugees. I
then began to study graphic design and soon switched to fashion design.

The miniskirt is constructed out of an upside down garter belt and panties. One of the suspenders is extended across the front and then wrapped around the neck. The jeans have three overlapped garters that are sewn in about mid-thigh. The jeans have a torn effect where the garters are sewn in. The leather jacket is cut so that it fits across the shoulders and is gathered at the seam with woven fabric. Sewn on pockets on sleeves, one on the side chest and two at the waistline. The cuffs are about 15cm long and have rows of garter suspenders attached. Lace is wrapped around each sleeve. The jacket is lined with fur print satin. Zipper in front. Ends mid-thigh. |

Leggings are worn under the hipster and the top layer is an asymmetrical chiffon skirt decorated with little rosebuds, lace, big silk roses, hanging strings of pearls, plissees and ribbons. A leather belt is worn that has similarities to a tanga from the back and it pulls the skirt down at the top in order to show off the hipster. |

The jeans have a two-layered waistline that shows two overlapped briefs on the top and the second waistline is a bit asymmetrical and has beads and tassels hanging from the side. The jeans are two-toned and have straps aligned on the front. The jacket is sleeveless and has a fur collar decorated with ribbons and lace. The jacket is made out of damask and is gathered together at the hipline which causes a puffed out effect in the back. The seam ends at mid-calf. |
