Fairy-God, Fashion-Mother

Daniel.K.Schweitzer Hormazd
Hormazd Narielwalla is about to present at 4FASHIONSHAKE III his collage-drawing collection entitled “Fairy-God, Fashion-Mother”, inspired by fashion lover Diane Pernet, who will attend 4FASHIONSHAKE III as a honorable guest.
Narielwalla brings this iconic fashionista to life using images of paper dresses from the ATOPOS archive; pattern drafts extracted from a Victorian pattern-cutting book (London College of Fashion archive); and discarded Savile Row patterns of men who are long dead.
The drawings are made-up of various pieces, generated from different sources but all have a common thread – they were and are all made up of paper.

They are pieces of wearable art which are indefinable as particular garments, preventing them from being placed into the conventional categories of the fashion industry.
Burke’s A/W 2011 collection consists of sculptural accessories and armour like body pieces which seem to captivate the human body. Ιnspired by a series of images called ‘Beautiful Pictures’ by the disabled artist Nicola Lane along with the collaboration with photographer and film director Andreas Waldschütz led to the creation of META.MORPH.

4FASHIONSHAKE’S III campaign music is written by May Roosevelt, a thereminist who has collaborated with both Greek and international established musicians.
May Roosevelt’s latest album ‘Haunted’ draws inspiration from Greek traditional music rhythms to contemporary dance music. The result has led to a total of 8 musical pieces, based on 8 different traditional dances, in which beats set the rhythm while they are combined with synthesizers and vocals. In this way May Roosevelt attempts to embed anew Greek musical idioms within contemporary music while retaining all their respectable characteristics.
