A few images from Fashionably Early Canberra of the garments I presented in collaboration with Nellie Peoples from ANU Gold and Silversmithing. The collection that Nellie and I presented looked at the roles of jewellery and garments. The way in which traditionally a garment is made and then the jewellery is added was a boundary we wanted to overcome through our collaboration. Our idea was to create a total look in which the garment and jewellery piece would interact in new ways to force their roles to change. The jewellery pieces act as though they are a growth on the garment slowly taking over and controlling it. Playing with the weight of the metal and the weight of the fabric, the total looks were only realised once the jewellery pieces and garments were connected.
Images from the photoshoot of all the garments from all designers will be avaliable soon and I will share them. Not a typical photoshoot so will be amazing to see the final results!
