Overview
Fashion. Never has there been such an infectious strain of creative expression, popping up in everything like flavour enhancer, sweetening the contents of artistic mediums it previously had not much to do with. But I guess that’s the beauty of this current era of post-post modernism: no creative field of work sits in isolation from another. Fusion has become the way of the future, and artists are appropriating other genres like music and fashion in unique and innovative ways.
In celebration of artistic fusion and the relationship between fashion and the arts, Being Born Again fashion couture show will present 10 collaborative works of well-known Australian designers, including Akira Isogawa and Marnie Skillings, paired with equally esteemed visual artists such as Lindy Lee and Tracey Moffat, to name a few. The show will be held at the National Art School one week prior to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, and artists will showcase their work on garments specifically designed to reflect their individual aesthetic, providing a unique, bespoke canvas for their compositions.
Cited as “a visceral and intellectual experience at the intersection of art, fashion, music, installation and design” Being Born Again couture show on Thursday, April 22 is the first of what is intended as an annual event and will feature Miss Zahra Stardust on the trapeze, Andy Uprock with his ‘cuprocking’ light display concept and J.D. Reformer and Rosie Deacon with their respective gold and animal installations. The evening's musical cheer will be provided by Washington, WIM and Jack Colwell & the Owls, stacking up to a great night of artistic diversity.
