Manipulating Patterns is a capsule collection and art installation inspired by the intersections of Chicago Footwork and cut-and-sew fashion design by Footwork artist and self-taught designer Sterling 'Steelo' Lofton. Both forms share foundational techniques, yet manipulating these patterns unlocks unique expressions of creativity. On a deeper level, the installation explores how unseen, unrecognized patterns—both positive and negative—shape life experiences, weaving together themes of rhythm, resilience, and personal transformation.
