In 'Don't Save Me', which is personally my favorite song, Willow talks about learning to fight her own battles in the big world and how she doesn't need saving.

 

For this look I wanted to create a statement piece that summarizes the theme of the song. The cargo pants have grommets and chains that connect at the knee. This is a representation of how chains create structure and support but they can also be a way to hold something or someone down. This cargo can be worn functionally as pants or shorts once the chains are detached. This is a metaphor of breaking free from your struggles. For the sheer overlay I used grey chiffon, and for the purple hand-knitted top, I used hand-dyed alpaca wool/silk yarn.
