XXXII: Previously Styled & Co-Directed: Les Femmes Damnées

Here are some images from an editorial that I styled and co-directed with Oliver Rose 
over a year ago. The shoot was a project that began as a series of experiments with draped cloth, 
light and nostalgia. Once again, it predominantly displays a selection 

from my personal wardrobe and archives. 

A recurring theme in my work, its title was derived from a Baudelaire poem in Les Fleurs du Mal

COV Jumper 3:

Experiment with Tea, 

Muslin and Silk : I
09.06.10

This particular piece is rather special to me for the following reasons:
I- It is made (almost entirely) of pure cotton muslin, which I stripped, treated and skeined by hand.
II- This is the muslin I personally brought from a Zoroastrian-garb tailor in India, when I was there last year.
III- There is some tea-stained silk jersey in this jumper, which I removed from an "unsuccessful" project that took me approximately 8 hours to construct and around 5 minutes to dismantle.

It now resides in Children of Vision where they take good care of it, before it finds a nice new home.

VIII: Children Of Vision

The rather organic (and chaotic) process of knitting and weaving tinsel, among other fibers, resulted in this vision 
-A Rumplestiltskin-esque Christmas Monster. The dress is a one-off piece; composed of acrylic, alpaca and mohair fibers. The installation has been featured, for the duration of holiday festivities, in the window of Children of Vision in St. Kevin's Arcade.

Hope everyone had a splendid holiday season -Here's to 2011, a bright New Year ahead !!

Best Wishes,
-Areez Katki.
