Custom Beaded Vests (Mens)

The vests below are made for men and are cut larger, but women can also wear them. Musicians such as Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Joey Kramer from Aerosmith wore my vests on stage and in MTV videos.

Custom Jackets and Coats - The Blue Double Breasted Jacket to the left is made from my handwoven fabric which I dyed about 20 shades of different blues to give it a rich three dimensional look. The middle jacket is made from a black ribbed silk fabric I bought in Rome, and hand beaded with a serpent design on the lapels and cuffs. The buttons are 100 years old. The Cut Velvet Coat to the right is lined in gold silk, and the pockets are lined in a silk piping and hand beaded with a lotus design.

1980's Custom Clothing - These outfits were all designed and made in the 1980's. My teenage niece Gabrielle Chalk and her friend Jaycee modeled these for me. They said they would wear these today even though I designed them 25 years ago.
