Identity Crisis Clothing (formerly Kaemmeche)

This e-boutique features one-of-a-kind reconstructed clothing and accessories.  Owner/designer Karly Hand’s art school background shows through her amazing style. She is most interested in creating clothing that performs multiple functions or can operate as more than one piece: the kinetic skirt, for example, operates like a roman shade providing it’s owner with several length options from one skirt. Playing around with basic systems to create dynamic clothing keeps her motivated as a designer.
