Art - Fashion Identity.

   After going to the Barbicain last week I decided to take a 2nd trip to London and visited the Royal Academy of Arts, the exhibition being held was called Art - Fashion  Identity, there was some really skills and interesting pieces of art through fashion being shown....

This is a dress creatively made by Susie MacMurray, September 2009, Widow.
The dress appears to be made out of material but after studying up close you realise that it has been carefully constructed with individual silver needles pierced through black under material, this creates a spectacular effect and makes it into a piece of art for me.


This constructed piece by Yohji Yamamoto caught my eye as I thought his use of wooden segments fixed together created a rigid structure yet allowed movement with the hinges.....

This is a Alexander McQueen lace couture, I thought this was beautiful and when looking closely it had obviously been made with a lot of skill and passion.
There was also some wigs and comtemporary forms of art being display, these three pieces especially stuck out to me ...
