THOUGHT COUTURE
How we show up in the world aesthetically IS communication.
Jillian Thought Couture is costume art designed to provoke conversations about more than just beauty.
Bespoke and one-of-a-kind accessories and gowns designed to ignite meaningful conversations.
To commemorate the USA’s 250th birthday I designed a limited-edition, thought-provoking, extra-long necklace. The black and gold necklace is 114” long (290cm), stringing together all 52 words of the preamble of the constitution reminding us of our unique and special history. A reminder of the exact words that our founding fathers chose when they designed our precious nation. See Shoppe
SCULPTURAL GOWNS
and Installations
Target:Peace! is a sculptural-gown, a wearable garment made from vestiges of war as a symbol of ‘swords into plowshares’.
PROJECT #1 - Target:Peace!
Don’t Fret is a sculptural-gown from 2,564 hand drilled guitar picks linked together with copper wire, nothing else. The silhouette mimics a 1930s bias-cut gown to feel like a second-skin…just like good music!
PROJECT #2 - Don’t Fret
