Howdy! Here are some fun things I make to wear to nightclubs. Many of these are toiles or off-cuts from
Feywish collections, or continuations of the methods explored therein.
First: This harness featured in
Freight Train to Faerie. Although the rusted iron bridle bit is central to the original design, everyone keeps warning me about this thing called 'tetanus'. Myself, I do not mind the risk, and I wear it with the iron in some contexts, but I swap it out for stainless steel hardware for the clubs to keep other people safe. Hehe.
Second: I call this my Hellraiser look. This repurposes the chest piece of
Pangaea's Drift; worn with chains like this, it acts as a binder. I've worn this with a few different lengths and sizes of chains, it is fun to configure it in different ways.
Third: Following Freight Train to Faerie, I had a lot of scrappy leftovers. I have been wanting to make a leather scraps top like this since seeing a 2021 exhibition of Jenny Bannister's work, specifically
this 1979 shag top.
Fourth:This leather codpiece with iron horsehoe was made for one of my courses, and is presented as-and-alongside a manifesto. Key tenets are love, magic, history, care, indulgence, and dirt.
Fifth & Sixth:The next two pieces are experiments in rust-dyeing! I looked into this process during my work on Freight Train to Faerie, and have continued with it beyond that. I adore looking as if I've been run over by a minibike.
