Beach Couture: A Haute Mess
Plastic pollution has become ubiquitous in our oceans and on our shores. ‘Beach Couture: A Haute Mess’, is a collection of wearable pieces made from trash collected from the beaches and oceans. It makes visible, in grotesquely amusing fashion, what is often overlooked – but shouldn’t be. Ideally, viewers will walk away aware of this growing problem and provoked to take some action.
The exhibition includes: 10 Large format photographs of model Hannah Kat Jones wearing outfits from the collection, 6-10 physical outfits from the collection, ‘Bedtime Stories’ – a series of ornately framed photo collages of the model trapped inside a plastic doll house.
Educational
Workshops – working with local schools and students making creations out recovered materials while learning about the issue of ocean pollution. Live Trashion Show – live models wearing outfits from the collection. This could be in the form of a runway show, dance performance, or simply 2-3 models wearing outfits at an opening or an event.
