In ‘A political dress’ the body itself becomes a monument. A living, breathing monument. Positioned at the top of a ladder it demands your attention and respect. A 5m long silk dress is draped around the body and hits the floor. Its purpose is to serve as a wearable protest banner, as it inscribes a message that is prevalent throughout my design work: ‘Save London’s Queer Spaces’. The message was graffitied on the dress as if protesters have added it during a demonstration. However, in this case it is not considered an act of vandalism but a call for action!
