Last winter, we published a wonderful article about the work of Rosalind Jana.  Our writer, Kelly Rogers Flynt held an exclusive interview with Jana about her work as a model, photographer, blogger and fashion designer in the article Fashion with a Unique Twist (Issue #4)  All of Jana's explorations are seen through the lens of a scoliosis experience, and she's found ways to express herself in unique and educational ways.  Below is an image from the article of Jana's self-designed post-surgery scoliodress.  You can read and see the full article by ordering Scoliosis Quarterly Issue #4 here: http://scoliosisquarterly.com/order.html

Here are a few snippets from the article:

--According to Jana, diagnosis and awareness of her own spinal structure led her to creatively manipulate imagery that revolved around spines.

--Jana's designs come from a, "desire to make sense of what was happening to my body."

--"Everything isn't straight," Jana says. "There are curves everywhere, beautiful curves, like the neck of a swan."
