Abstract

Korean fashion designer Shinmi Park showcases her provocative and original designs in her first major Australian exhibition. Park's work considers the dialogue between modern architecture and contemporary fashion. Borrowing devices from different disciplines (such as the spiral, the fold and the zipper), Park's soft sculptures are no longer static structures for wearing but metaphors for urban life. Each garment is constructed from interconnecting modules that can be disassembled and recombined into multiple sculptural forms. Taking fashion beyond the expression of trends, Park reinvents the garment as a sensual transaction between the body, interior space and the eye. [gallery media]
