Patti Amat I

Patti Amat's graduate performance costume collection; 'Death and Mother' was based on 'Blood Wedding' by Federico Garcia Lorca. This collection is full of the high drama and passion of Spanish culture. Drama heightened by the use of black and off white with red detailing, Patti has drawn on imagery of Picasso's 1937 'Guernica' with laser cuts of the dead baby framing the front panel of deaths dress in a cascade. Embroidery detail on the mothers skirt features the grieving mother and fatally injured bull.
