SHANNON GALATI BFA Fashion Designer + YA-LING HOU BFA Textile Designer 2007
Academy of Art University School of Fashion www.academyart.edu

The two BFA designers collaborated in this collection on the theme OP ART (optical illusions) by painter Bridget Riley for textiles and 1960s silhouettes for the clothing design. Ya-Ling notes on her sketch with variations of the herringbone theme: retro & feminine, sexy & playful. You can find a behavioural instruction on Shannon's dress construction "audience participation required... at any room in the house". Very 60ies performance dress! the realisation >>>
