About the Anne Drager Store
My work is all about the idea of clothing as art. Each piece is assembled from fabrics and garments that come to me with a history, many are vintage or heirloom pieces that I have collected. I also paint and draw on the garments and sometimes hand-dye them to create a truly original object that has a narrative beyond its esthetic and functional appeal.
