AFAR : MELBOURNE SPRING FASHION WEEK 2009

By admin • Oct 11th, 2009 • Category: ALL PROJECTS, INSTALLATIONS

The latest AFAR installation; Aaron Roberts ( room11 ) and Fashion Designer Alexi Freeman , appeared in the foyer of the MELBOURNE SPRING FASHION WEEK 2009.

Titles “Death Cloud”, the project dissects and layers the plaid from Freeman’s  S/S 09-10 collection, applying it to a topographical re-hash of  the original flapper motif from AFAR 1.  Cad models are brought to life using handcrafted stencil techniques and hours of hand cut… sticky tape! The extrusion and layering of the pattern allows for a build up of complexity, a volumetric interplay of light, shadow and pattern.
