Welcome to Blood Bloom, where the works of Sarah Staskauskas flow through chambers of the past and present as well as aortas yet to be explored. This is a space intended to offer you access to her designs, outfits and artwork.

Hailing from rusty Rockford, IL Sarah moved to Chicago where she continued her education and infatuation with vintage clothes, opening her second store Hot Damn, a haven for sartorial sisters and bespoke blokes. Pulsing and pushing forward among the racks and hung from rafters Sarah's own work shines. Light designs designed for light, quilted one-pieces made for wicked winter night reveals, one long zipper buzzing bellyward.

While creating and crafting her own work, be it haunting and humorous paintings or sleek patchwork nylon seduction wear, she also thrust the work of friends forward, giving oxygen and life to likeminded designers and artists.

In Chicago one of many was Dr. Borlonicon's Galactic Unearthing. Later in Los Angeles where she now lives she created Baroness Dianaea's Wastoid Wonderland & Apothecary and most recently Yours & Mine, a group show bound by blood ties.

You are invited to have a look around; for unique gifts, flowing fashions, oils, watercolors, collar capes or just a little razor nick of inspiration. Enjoy!
