Spectacle as Resistance.
This work investigates context through cultural and social shifts, influenced by first-hand interviews with industry professionals, brands, designers and performance artists. Translating insights into spatial and graphic solutions through art direction and collaboration.
Throughout this project, I dove into the world of Maximalism, undertaking an extended research project exploring shifts within the Fashion Communication environment.
Originating in a contextual investigation, both locally and globally, identifying gaps and limitations in the realm of Maximal Self-expression. Continually supported with primary research with industry professionals at Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, influential people who move against the Minimal grain and my targeted consumers.
Concluding in a combination of my published study and outcomes in collaboration with Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and Public Editions a documentary-based, independent magazine.
