The Dress

Ben designed and created this dress for Gracie Opulanza to wear at LFW, the influence behind the dress was inspired by the Pre Raphaelite era & Sexual fetishism. Combining these two research elements and contrasting them by using soft textures against hard, thick between transparent, jersey against leather. Ben kept the silhouette pre-Raphaelite but used detail to bring through the Sexual fetishism.
