For my FMP, I wanted to show women wanting and wishing to be like the ‘perfect’ celebrities, and fantasising about the beautiful dresses they see in the magazines. Contemplating these aspirations I wondered whether in reality, was this celebrity life as rose tinted and perfect as it seemed? This dress I have made aspires to be beautiful, and it is, but because of the material it is made from, it is in fact quite uncomfortable to wear, showing that beauty is deceiving and that the thought of things is often better than the reality.
Magazines are temporary, fashion is temporary. The reason I wanted to make my dress from magazines is to show that something as temporary as magazine pages can make something as beautiful. Also toying with the controversy of making a fantasy dress from an inexpensive material showing a transformation of an ordinary material into an extraordinary outcome.
