love is an understatement.

who are you answering to?

if memory serves me correctly at one point in time this was a baby pink shirt from american apparel. then my best alex chapman turned it into this shredded dress, he really mastered the fine art of alegra shred - lays fishtail on side but i have running around to do today so its pinned in the back , leather jacket covering. and in my failed attempts to dye it jet black it turned out burnt ash. 

thanks alex xx
