Colorado, USA Favorite candy: Any red colored candy What I learned from this unique collaboration: The limitations of Poofy Pops, and that everyone participating in this candy project might be a little candy crazed! Jolly Ranchero Garment description & inspiration: A dynamic mingling of Poofy Pops and strawberry-banana sour belts, this garment’s inspiration ranges from sugar skulls to Día de los Muertos, from McQueen to Dior, from skateboard decks to vintage candy ads. The garment’s layers circle the body like different versions of the same story, told over and over again. Ranchero feels at once faraway and familiar, just like the legends of the American West that inspired it. Candy used:
I’m fascinated with Julie’s sculptural piece that she calls “Jolly Rancher-o.” The piece swirls around the body in undulating waves of ribbon confection. The shoulder serape is very “Fistful of Gumballs.” - Michael Fink What an interesting use of Poofy rope! It’s very Andy Warhol Pop and reminds me of what a Candy Superhero may wear. I absolutely love the pop art-like colors of the yellow, blue and orange gumballs. Although I admire the dress’ texture, I’m not sure I like the contrast of the Poofy’s ropes soft pastel colors with the stronger strawberry-banana sour belts hues. - Dylan Lauren The complexity and striking silhouette create a brilliant look. - Paula Wallace Vote nowBack to designers |
