I thought it would be interesting to effect a transformation of the collection created for this exhibition and through small strategic alterations see if I could could create a “new” collection. You could say it’s representing a change from summer into winter, although with both palettes using cool and warm shades it’s a bit hard to tell which is the summer one and which the winter. I suppose this is appropriate given we are currently in that confusing fashion state experienced at this time every each year here in Melbourne – Winter collections are arriving in store and this fashion festival is telling to get out and buy them, while outside it’s 30 degrees Celsius…
In any case, the Labour day holiday was spent immersed in a vat of indigo dye, the pastel apricot pieces have been set aside, obligatory Melbourne black added in, and this is the result!
