About the Author

Miranda Caroligne Burns (San Francisco, CA) has donned a variety of hats

in her young years: physical therapist, event producer, community activist,

installation artist, author, performance artist, philosopher, and fashion

designer. Mentored by her mother, Miranda has been sewing and creating her

own clothing since she could hold a needle. Over time she developed a zest

for re-use and heartfelt desire for truly unique design. This ethos is master-

fully woven together to recall the forms of yesteryear with an otherworldly

edge — a philosophy she calls “neoarchaic.”

Miranda’s life has been a bi-coastal artistic evolution. She became active in

the alternative arts scene in Boston, where she introduced “living construc-

tion,” a live sewing performance piece staged in gallery window fronts.

Relocating to San Francisco in 2005, she quickly emerged as a bright new

star in a constellation of provocative artist-designers. Her fashion shows are

known for their performance-art quality, embodying political, artistic, and

personal statements. These shows include Catwalk on the Wild Side (U.N.

World Environment Day Gala “Walk the Talk”), Love Fest VIP Event (San

Francisco City Hall), and Maker Faire (Swaporamarama and Make magazine).

She has also had various individual performance art appearances at

Supperclub San Francisco, San Jose Museum of Art, and Burningman.

Meander through San Francisco’s Mission-Deco Ghetto neighborhood and

you’ll find Miranda reconstructing in the window-front of her boutique,

miranda caroligne — a living construction boutique (www.mirandacaroligne.

com), 485 14 Street @ Guerrero. You’re sure to be delighted by the local art and

design, and step forward with the inspiration to do it yourself!
