Hey so i've been falling in love with local designer Tovah Cottle lately and I jumped with joy and shrieked like a school girl when I found out that there will be a fashion show on the opening night of the exhibition at Artisan (Fortitude Valley) on the 22nd April featuring Tovah's work along with two other MSIT students and another 9 selected designers.
Tovah Cottle along with other MSIT students Laurence St Pierre, and Pamela Cameron will show their works in an exhibition held by Artisan Gallery from 22April- 5th June with other designers Alice Leahey, Heidi Stevens, Jacque Prior, Jeremy Gillis, Lauren Elise Clarke, Melanie Kate Foote, Priya Cox and Robyn Taggart.
Designer Tovah Cottle has used silhouettes, shape and texture to create honeycomb textures and curvy shapes for her feminine fashion designs. Her two garments to be displayed in the exhibition were inspired by high-tech urban architecture, art and fashion.
Canadian-born designer Laurence St Pierre was influenced by industrial design and architecture to create three avant-garde fashion designs. The fabric and styling used in her pieces represents rough industrial surfaces such as lifted paint on a rugged wall, structures with exposed beams and tangled wires.
Millinery graduate Pamela Cameron drew inspiration from birdlife and scenery in outback Queensland to create Pelican Collection, a series of seven extravagant hats. The colourful pieces feature well-endowed trims, feathers from native Australian and exotic birds, silk veiling, beading and flowers.
Unleashed Curator Gabriella Szablewska said the MSIT students' garments will be on display among video installations, typography and other fashion designs inspired by some of the great art movements of the last century.
"Unleashed showcases adventurous Queensland talent, featuring the most exciting and innovative graduate work from leading art and design institutions," Ms Szablewska said.
You can join myself and others on the opening night on the 22nd April (geez how many times have I mentioned that it's on the 22nd April......oh, by the way, it's on the 22nd April!) to see a fashion show co-ordinated by Caroline Gardam and GUESS WHAT!!!? The exhibition will be opened by co-founder and assistant editor of Frankie, Louise Bannister. It's going to be a great night to mingle with industry darlings, can;t wait to see you there.
