Faith Lefever (Gnarls Zombie)

When did you start designing?

I first started designing when I was in middle school, I was not sewing often, but I would make skirts, alter my clothing, and made plenty of hideous things. I really started to sew and design about two years ago.

 

How would you describe the style of your designs?

I would have to say bold, and maybe sometimes sexy. I love working with prints, the weirder the better!

 

Where do you find your inspiration?

Most of my inspiration comes from pinup couture, but I find inspiration from everywhere. I may see a movie, or a shirt, or even from listening to music.

 

What materials do you usually work with?

For my aprons I love working with cotton, and lace.

 

What is the first piece you ever made?

The first apron I made was about 6 months ago. I could not find an apron that I liked, so I decided to make my own, and to make it reversible. A bunch of my friends saw it, and loved it, and then soon friends were requesting to have one, and then friends of friends. The first real "outfit" I made was a striped black and white "wedding" dress.

 

If you could dress anyone in the world, who would it be?

Honestly, if I could dress anyone in the world, it would be the average everyday women. Every women should feel sexy, even if they are just cooking a family meal.
