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.
