one more blast from the past



This was the last in the series of conceptual couture gowns. This one, made from perferated brown paper packaging and lace, is called "Ladylike". Here I got into the installation of the piece creating a vignette, framing the gown with the foiled wallpaper and painted branches atop the gilded baroque shelves. The disposable materials intrigued me because I think it reflects the speed at which fashions change. In one season, out the next. It only makes sense that garments that are only supposed to last a few months should be both inexpensive and disposable, while looking expensive and appealing.
