Goldfish Unknow

In the public eye Instagram models are invisibly bound by social values and lose their individuality. Behind the glitz and glamour they are bound by pressure. The designs in ‘Goldfish Unknow’ emphasise the lightness, delicate beauty, symmetry and perfection of goldfish. They juxtapose the unconsciousness of being blackmailed by the public view with seemingly glamorous clothes which make it difficult for people to move. This view is contrasted with the designs showing that all that glitters is not gold and that while some people desire attention they ignore the plight of the environment. The collection emphasises the sense of suffocation and oppression of being trapped on an aquarium-like stage.
