"To Mallory, everything is an opportunity for self-creation, and that includes fashion from the street. Literally, things found in the street could be refashioned and included in an outfit. She refuses rules and definitions. Even if she could afford it, she would not want an outfit from a fancy department store that someone else put together. She wants to make it herself, sometimes literally," Taneia said. Taneia dug through old costume stock at Southside Studios that she refers to as "a treasure box of dusty delights." Many of Mallory's outfits started there.
