COLOUR AND CULTURE X ALEX NOBLE MONOLITHS

I was commissioned to create four pieces commemorating the moment four different icons wore a make up product from the boutique brand Cosmetics A La Carte - the pieces were for an exhibition curated by Ryan Lanji to celebrate the fourty year anniversairy of the brand.
The collection is titled Monoliths and the subjects are -

KATE MOSS

GRACE JONES

LADY GAGA

LADY DIANA

Plinths designed by Anna Lomax

FLOWERS FOR SELFRIDGES

The team at selfridges commissioned me to adorn 40 garden gnomes in florals and tattoo blooms onto mannequins for their Chelsea Flower show inspired window.

REVLON 'ENAMOURED' EXHIBITION

Ryan Lanji, curator of the Revlon ENAMOURED exhibition asked me to create a piece of work that represented the concept of matching Lipstick and nail varnish. Revlon were the first cosmetics brand to do this with their product - and the result being my piece of work - 'LIPS AND TIPS'.
The mannequin heads rotated and picked up the spot lights reflecting from the make up compacts in the surrounding hands.

MTV TALKING SHOP - BEYOND THE CAFE OF THE DOLLS SET DESIGN

I

CONDEMENT QUEEN

TILL HEAD

MOP HEAD

Trippy tea pot head

I was asked to design a surreal cafeteria for a BEVIACOM event that showcaed its channels, MTV, COMEDY CENTRAL and NICKELODEAN. I designed a mural that made it seem as though the whole cafe was being sucked into a psychadelic void.
I created for Mannequink sculptures for the piece, designed the signs, table tops and food counters.

'SOFT DEATH' debut presentation for LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 11

My debut collection was shown as a live presentation for LFW this season. It was a huge success and I cant wait for next season!
Here are lots of pics.......

The beautiful surrounding installation was created by very good friend and very talented designer Anna Bruder, a twisted mass of rubber tubing, symbolizing a giant intestine, crawling around the room and working its way around an eight foor steel rail.

Shoes created by Claire Davis

LIVE FASHION SCULPTURE - SELFRIDGES

As part of The Bright Young Things promotion I was invited to create a window and dresses for, I was asked back to do something live and interactive on the shop floor, for the run up to Selfridges.
I decided to create a sculpture using a suspended mannequin, one of my head pieces, net and my favourite material...masking tape!

My lovely Assistants Saskia and Lynsey

And this is an interbiew with me mid installation pulling a tongue in cheek concept out of the air she is falling through!

'COUTURE of the WILD' - ALEX NOBLE SELFRIDGES WINDOW for BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS.

Selfridges invited myself and a group of other up and coming designers and artists to create their January windows and design some product for in store.
After an initial conversation with the creative manager about the 'do's and don'ts' of the windows she mentioned no taxidermy! So I decided to flip that on its head and do a high end couture taxidermy lab  - I pushed the concept to create something surreal, serene and I hope quite beautiful.

 

Part of the promotion was design some product to go in store at Selfrdidges - I created two pieces of art work running with the themes of the window and my debut collection for Fashion week. The art work was then printed onto silk Georgette and I made ten exclusive dresses for intsore - there now! BUY BUY!
