Sarah Gerard's Birth of Flight - Summer Dress

Birth of Flight by Sarah Gerard – Racerback Summer Dress

Float through your day with Birth of Flight, a dreamlike, all-over print racerback dress by acclaimed author and visual artist Sarah Gerard. Inspired by vintage aviation, feminine rebellion, and the ecstatic freedom of transformation, this limited edition piece channels the spirit of surreal collage into wearable form. With its light, breathable fabric and striking print detail, Birth of Flight blurs the boundary between fashion and fine art.

Gerard—author of Binary Star, Sunshine State, and True Love—is also a celebrated visual artist whose collage work has appeared in BOMB Magazine, Hazlitt, and Epiphany, and is housed in the MoMA Library. Her imagery often reclaims retro iconography—women’s bodies, flight manuals, religious illustrations—reassembling them into bold meditations on power, beauty, and escape.

Perfect for lovers of outsider art, surrealist fashion, and wearable statements, Birth of Flight is as comfortable as it is captivating—a celebration of movement, memory, and the endless possibilities of becoming.
