Collection Progression Drawing
The pieces 'evolve' from one to the other, representing the manipulation that occurs in the industry. The dresses 'grow' as the collection progresses, symbolising the increase in wealth throughout the different levels of the fashion industry. The degradation in colour (as can be seen in the illustrations and photographs) represents the decrease in popularity. When more money is spent on a product, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be more popular.

Bridal Photoshoot
The Team: Designer: Sian Riley, Model: Amy Curran, Stylist: Varsha Ahir, Hair Stylist: Michael Gray, Make up Artist: Zaara Khan and a huge thank you to Kate O'Neill at LKPhotography for taking the photographs.
This is a collection that explores the double life of one set of products as fashion and art. This is the bridal direction. The 'artistic' use of the same collection can be seen in the art direction photographs.

This project is a form of wearable art. The pieces are displayed in frames and can be removed from their display by the viewer to wear at anytime of their choosing. Once the piece has been worn, instead of discarding the product, it is re-hung in the frame where it then becomes art.
