My name is Ray-Oliver Bacoy and I am an up-and-coming fashion designer based in Atlantic City, NJ. I am 23. My work is very much influenced by nature and all its glory. My designs deal a lot with silk painting and heavy embellishment. I use silk chiffon primarily for its lightness and dyeability. To achieve the painting effects on the fabric I use a combination of dyes such as Sennelier Tinfix and Procion and resists.
