This week's Worn Out is dedicated to designer, architect, and artist, Christine Chaney, who makes gorgeous, fluid-like garments by way of "folding, draping, and knotting." AKA magic.

Christine draws upon the suspension qualities of many different things: the particular way a gown's fabric sits on the shoulders and drifts down the back, for instance. She also mentions sailors' dangling supply bags; a deer she encountered, skinned, gutted, hanging in the deep woods; and a hovering cloud of flies, like "a live chandelier."

Her past art installation c/raft at Velocity Art and Design featured drippy forms and crocheted branches floating down in slings. It was inspired by Théodore Géricault's romantic masterwork The Raft of the Medusa, which depicts an unhappy scene from a historical shitstorm at sea, involving desertion, drunkenness, starvation, psychosis, murder, and cannibalism. (Amid all the death and writhing, a distinctly stylish look emerges from this painting: Men display lush hair, draped shrouds, and elegantly tattered bandages, and though their skin is discolored, their bodies are delightfully thick with muscles.)
