ARNHEM

About

For the first time SHOWstudio did live coverage of the Arnhem Fashion Biennale, possibly one of the best places in Europe to see what’s happening in the world of art and fashion crossover. The exposition, which took the theme of ‘Happy Fashion’ for 2007, showcased a host of designers, some new, some more established, in a highly unusual ‘multi-sensory’ setting. Art Director Fred Butler was there to send us all her impressions of the event via picture phone.

Here is Hrafnhildur Arnardottir (a.k.a Shoplifter: a name adopted on a mishearing of her first name she assures us) giving a lecture at the 'Fashion & Accessories Symposium'.  Her hair sculptures were born from a curiosity into Victorian keep-sakes of lovers hair called 'Memory Flowers'.  For the private view of this work "Shrine of my Vanity part II" in 2003, she had her own hair braided into a 3D heart and wore a Diane Von Furstenberg dress with a repeat print of platted hair.
