Taking inspiration from music and fashion diva Grace Jones and her 80s music video art created by Jean-Paul Goude I was working on millions of xerographies from which I then moved on to sampling with all kinds of clash’y materials, colourful beads with funky textures. I explored fabric manipulation techniques in combination with embellishment. Shiny disco fabrics combined with pastel colours and stripes. Going a bit crazy in a good way with this I was seeking for the unconventional look and ‘screaming’ colours yet subtly pleasing the eye. Many ideas of party dress were transforming into something of my own.
