MR. 303 Magazine Interviews
-
In this collection, expect a meshing of 2006 emo, burlesque and circus themes. While true to her brand, with this collection pittman wanted to challenge herself to use various fabrics like pinstripes instead of hertypical monochromatic style and handmade fabric flowers by New York brand, M&S Schmalberg.
A show to remember is what Pittman is calling her performance. She describes it as a, “Picturesque score of passing fantasies,” and advises attendees to let their minds wander.

“For this collection in particular, I returned to my roots with music. I found “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” in middle school, and my love and appreciation for this album have only grown as I’ve gotten older. By revisiting music I loved when I was younger, I’ve been able to tap into ideas and creativity I hadn’t visited in a while.”

MR. (formerly Cardiovascuwhore) designer MeenaPittman was preparing for her Denver Fashion Week collection, she had one major wish: “I hope Ryan Ross sees this.”
Here’s hoping the former guitarist and lyricist of Panic! At The Disco is paying attention: the Cardiovascuwhore collection was inspired by the band’s first albumA Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. As such, most of the looks referenced P!ATD music videos from that era: from the iconic fish tanks from the “Lying Is The Most Fun…” music video to the classic dark circus looks from “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” including models on stilts.
Complete with unsettling circus make-up, artfully crafted leotards, top hats, neck ties and a head-banging backing track, Cardiovascuwhore’s collection was pure joy for 2000s emo kids —and would certainly make Ryan Ross proud.
