About Me

******* Hi All ***********************************
Thank you for visiting my page!
Please note that I'm currently doing only very select TFP, but I'm always happy to rent. Rates are reasonable, please message me for details.
**************************************************************************************

ABOUT ME:
I've been doing high-end edge and alternative clothing for over 20 years. I've worked in film, video, stage and television (HBO, Sci-Fi Channel, MTV and more)...costumed celebrities and stage artists like John Leguizamo and Steven van Zandt, worked with Tim Gunn on his reality show and even dressed MTV vj's Adam Curry and Downtown Julie Brown in a previous life. I'm always looking to expand my world with other talented artists and, of course, if you ever need anything amazing for your closet, let me know - I'm happy to take commissions.
I can be contacted here through Model Mayhem or through my email address at [email protected]. Also, please visit my Etsy store for ready made accessories: http://www.kvodesign.etsy.com

Thanks for visiting!
-Karen
