MARYLOU OZBOLT-STORER
My contemporary outerwear; extensively pieced, appliquéd and embellished, adorned with imported European braids, vintage buttons, and treasures garnered from around the world is probably what I am best known for. Each item is individually cut and manipulated. A very limited number are created through out the year. I specialize in 100% Merino Wool, but often play with other fabulous fabrics such as silks, linens, and vintage cloth, manipulating the fabrics until I get the colour balance and/or emphasis I am after. I am most excited when dealing with a variety of layers and textures.
I have a fetish of using only the very best fabrics, creating a piece that fits and drapes well, and inspires a story. My goal is to create "Wearable Art" that is an extension of my experiences, and complements the wearer in both design and silhouette.
