The exhibition showed the artists involved motivations for consuming fashion by how they interpreted in their work, however, this is not 'peoples' views, just theirs. Clothing is a clear marker of individuality and demonstrates our way of life of the person wearing the garments. You can see peoples need to consume fashion everyday. Its a basic desire. Its the norm. This exhibition presented a group of contemporary artists, all putting there mark on consumption.

My favourite piece was the 'dress' by Yoyji Yamamoto (above). He expresses that he does not like fashion and wants to regain respect for clothing and promote independence for woman. This dress above has wooden frame work-which suggests a human skeleton. It has architectural structure and a feel of armour. You could see it as some sort of corset- showing weakness at the same time, strength from the materials.
