Best Accessory for Dark Academia Photography or a Dark Academia Wedding

Updated: Apr 27, 2022

The skeleton of an enchanted closet 🌙

May the spine of the butterfly carry your finest threads with grace and purpose.


As an independent fashion designer for my small brand, I enjoy taking a break from working with the flexible woven linen to put my hands to work on something solid. To take a break from the complexities of garment sizing and natural dye recipes in order to work on a more predictable structure.

As my wooden hangers hold gowns, capes, coats, and uniforms, they become the spine and shoulders to the garment when it is away from the human body.

I find these hand-carved clothes hangers help tell the story of the unique clothing I hang from them.

Each is hand-carved from poplar wood and finely sanded for a soft buttery feel that highlights the natural wood grain. I created 3 different wood-burned designs that I felt captured the natural energies of plants and animals residing in the dark wooded areas of the earth.
