A month (744 hours!!) after being given the theme, 'Do Anything You Want' for my third textiles unit at college, I finally had the artistic outburst I had long been waiting for that would lead me to an idea. It came to me after reading the John Galliano: A Look Back In Grandeur article in The Independant a few weeks ago. The page then reapeared some days later in The Vicarage and I found a small sub article about Primitive Streak's Lung Dress and their upcoming exhibitons and talks. One of which, was at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital ealier this month. Featured in the exhibtion were 10 of the 27 dresses made as part of Primitve Streak's collection, 'The First 1,000 Hours Of Human Life'.
Sperm Coat, Fetilisation. Made of embroidered nylon and cotton threads onto dissolvable fabric that when dipped in water, melts away to unveil the combined threads that form the coat. It took 105 hours to contruct (I've used dissolvable fabric before, it's the devil of textile techniques.) The Sperm Coat is the main source of inpriration for my own idea for a garment that I will create for my unit. I immediately responded to the idea of a coat with- referencing the sleeves, cape-esque and creature-like qualities.
