Uniform of Consequence – Jade Spokes

Jade Spokes transforms single use and discarded material into ‘camouflage’ high-end couture.

Fast fashion promotes the idea that the use value of an item is no more than seasonal at best, further depleting limited resources. For Uniform of Consequence, Jade Spokes transforms single-use and discarded by-products of the consumer market, into ‘camouflage’ high-end couture fashion pieces to critique the interwoven networks of waste and denial that drive the industry. Dressing live models to mingle with opening visitors, an activated showing and installation in the hallway of the Nicholas Building disrupts the conventions of catwalk and exhibition space.

In partnership with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival.
