Connections
The link between a person and a garment can never be planned for, but has lasting impact when a garment becomes a life-long companion. It reveals the potential for change in each individual and often marks that in the associations with a piece, for single, small actions can have big effects.
Midsummer night's dress
"I bought this dress 23 years ago in California in a garage sale. I’m a
big fan of Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and when I saw the
dress it was for me it was like the symbol of that play and the colour
of the skirt part of the dress just mesmerised me. I thought, ‘yeah,
this is a colour I want to have in my life, no matter how often I’ll
wear the dress’. And the top is also just beautiful. It reminds me of
summer so it’s like a summer dress, a midsummer night’s dress and
special."
