Savage Article

This morning I read this article in the Financial Times Magazine about the exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’(Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, May 4 to July 31) and the McQueen archive.

Pig Dog Studios (i)

I used to share studio space in Dublin a few years ago. These are some shots of a piece I made taken by my friend Kate O Brien during our time there. We staged the shoot together and these are some of the results, modeled by my cousin Erica.

It's the first finished sculptural/accessory/fashion piece I ever made and probably the most personal and emotionally motivated.  My degree collection is based on a film as was my third year statement collection so have not been exercised to the same personal level. The energy I once put into the concept I have, while in college, put into the technical side of things in terms of designing, illustrating, pattern making and finishing. Enthusiasm allowing, I hope to return to more personal narratives in the future.

Over-Worked

I'm currently working on my degree collection. I plan on putting up more information (i.e concept, title, motivation etc) about it following the fashion show. Its an ongoing developmental process, with very little set in stone or decided upon thus far. These are shots of toils that have been worked on. I am now embarking on the process of constructing a number of the actual garments. I have six weeks to complete my six looks. Something tells me this is gonna be an experience I either wont be able to recall or one I will never forget!
