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!
