Artist Kimiko Yoshida left Japan and based herself in Paris where she has been continually exploring gender and the body through her on going series of self-protraits. These large sqaure photographs depict the artist in a series of poses and costumes, each with a mostly monochromatic colour theme. yoshida ‘s monochrome approach is described as a ‘disappearance’. As she describes ‘art is a subtle process
Repetition was the basis of Katherine Roberts-Wood’s graduate collection, which explores whether there is “some natural instinctive evolutionary reason to be attracted to recurring forms.” Roberts-Wood has produced visually complex structures, built up from recurring structures that occupy a space between the conceptual and the wearable. “I aim to balance complexity with a simple rule such as repetition,” she says. “To create an aesthetic that
In 1927, Elsa Schiaparelli founded her fashion house, writing under her name, “Pour le sport.” Unwittingly created something that went far beyond fashion. Sportswear is one of the biggest changes of the last century that still influences the way we perceive life and fashion. After all the main steps during the first half of ‘900, just in the 70’s we find sport in fashion as
Anyone but the most dedicated follower of fashion would perhaps require a bit of persuasion to step out in one of Li Xiaofeng’s wearable porcelain pieces, which are being exhibited in Beijing until the end of the year. But regardless of whether you could hack it in the ceramic jacket, few will fail to be impressed by Li’s detailed study in blank and motif-laden porcelain,
At times it must seem to Dion Lee like he is balancing the weight of the entire Australian fashion industry, and at 24 that’s quite a load to bear.

Utilitarian objects like shoulder and knee caps become sensual, erotic accessories. Leather coats encrusted with glittering metal become uniforms of a distant,
Qiu Hao is widely regarded as one of China’s most influential and avant-garde emerging fashion designers. His focus on conceptually-driven design is very much in tune with his training at Central St Martins in London. Desconstructed fashion, underpinned by the development of innovative fabrics are his subtle signature. His minimalist retail space on the Jinxian Lu reminds me of a recent trip to Antwerp and
Fashion designer Winde Rienstra (Echten, 1981) studied at the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). Rienstra’s designs have created a furore within a relatively short time. Her work is situated at the boundaries of fashion, art and architecture. Central to her work is her feel for materials. She has a particular fondness for wood and the patterns that you can read in the grain: for
The visual and conceptual inspiration of these dresses and fabric experiments was the Bauhaus movement. Bauhaus was the most influental modernist school of art, design and architecture founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. While doing my research about the movement, I fell in love with the monochrome photographs of László Moholy-Nagy that he took of his stage designs, and Josef Albers’ monochrome graphics. The
