indigenous fashion art by summerfield

indigenous fashion art

part of the exhibition at the nuit blanche last saturday is a showcase of clothings designed by indigenous fashion artists. this is one the installations. i do not profess to be a fashionista but i would not be caught dead wearing something like this. i'm not sure if it is a dress or a curtain and i would for sure get lost in its sleeves let alone the dress itself. but then art and fashion are subjective, n'est-ce pas?

for this week's 52 captures challenge, the challenge is fabric or textiles. i dare say that there is a lot of fabric!
haha! i posted one from this installation as well... yeah - i prolly wouldn't wear it, but i did find most of the these pieces really fascinating and wonderfully photogenic... would've loved to have had more opportunity to shoot these ones - without odd lighting and the various security personnel photobombing 🙃

@northy - they are indeed fascinating but mostly impractical.

Hmm! I think high fashion is not in my life except I can think it and say it and write it. No one will ever accuse me of being a fashionista. Just like I'm not much of an artist either. My brain just doesn't work that way.
That being said, this is very representative of the challenge you are responding to. Well done.

the top half is way to full and crinkly for my liking but I love the colours and would love the bottom half as a skirt ha ha

It looks as though it could be a bit bulky - but the colours are amazing.

Very clever but not my cup of tea at all

Interesting gown. Dry clean only I guess!

It's definitely not to my taste either Vikki and don't get me started on all of the frayed, unhemmed edges.

It doesn’t look like a whole lot of sewing was involved in this creation. Taking fabric and folding up together is an easy way to create a garment. I have never been enthralled by almost anything I have seen on a runway. it is an interesting minute photo, Vikki

It definitely does not look like practical clothing…at least in my world. I like your capture of the beautiful color.
