Nudie Suit Revisited |
|
An Original Creation by Susan Deal, |

|
| This garment was created as an
homage to one of the pioneers of western wear - the late Nudie
Cohen. He became so famous as a designer of outfits for
cowboy movie stars and western singers that the flashy "rhinestone
cowboy" suits became known as "nudie suits." 57 separate
embroidery motifs were used to created the overall design for the
suit - most of which include a chain stitch which was so prominent
in early western wear. Computer software was used to rotate,
mirror-image, and otherwise manipulate the embroidery motifs.
The embroidery was done through a layer of batting as well as the
fabric for a little extra "pouf." Lastly, many iron-on
crystals were added for that "rhinestone cowgirl" look. |
