Gergei Erdel

Gergei Erdei's shell-encrusted collection from London College of Fashion's MA show, inspired by 19th Century Sailor’s Valentines. Gergei's mask work reminds me of the wonderful work of James Merry for Bjork.

James Merry

Yesterday I found James Merry's embroidered mask for Bjork that complimented Nikoline Liv Andersen's dress design and completed Bjork's Vulnicura Dress for the Governors Ball Festival in New York that took place in June 2015.
Today I found that James Merry had also been involved in 'family' the moving album cover a collaborative piece by Björk and Andrew Thomas Huang, James made the exquisite embroidered head piece for this film from latex.

Nikoline Liv Andersen II

A melting pot of creativity Nikoline Liv Andersen's styling and concepts are amazing.
Drawing on historical and modern fashions and mixing everything up; colours, styles, textures and fabrics into fantastical costume creations.
These images are the designs and realisation for Bjork's Vulnicura Dress for the Governors Ball Festival in New York that took place in June 2015.

The Björk 'Vulnicura Tour' dress by Nikoline Liv Andersen was constructed from small pieces of recycled fur cut out from a classical Saga Furs coat and decorated with printed metal foil creating a shimmering effect like plumage or butterfly wings.

The exquisite embroidered headpiece is by James Merry
