GRADUATE COLLECTION

  • Tyler Alexander Steele Seraphin
The collection reflecting the voyeur in us all, the obsession of seeing the reveal of a structure. Representing the process of undress, opposing the dressing ritual of Marie Antoinette and the court, you see garments peeling from the body to reveal the flesh beneath, an aesthetic taken from the photography of Aaron Siskind. Glue manipulated fabrics brings a fetishistic touch whilst concrete treatment conveys a chocking urban approach that compliments a dystopian society, reminiscent of Steele’s research into George Orwell’s 1984. Use of sheer fabrics translates the boundaries of dress and undress with subtle, romantic cuts juxtaposing sharp, graphic layered shapes. Raw edges throughout the collection portrays the fragility of a structure and how time progressively deconstructs without security.
