Experiencing the garment

Merging tailoring, architecture and sculpture in an inter-disciplinary practice where shapes and surfaces form the space of the garment. This is how the young Elizabeth Delfs presents herself.


Elizabeth has lent her creative genius to the world of fashion on a number of occasions. For instance, in this shoot for "Colosoul Magazine" produced in conjunction with Nick Fitzpatrick. Her works, similar to ephemeral chrysalises, become sensual spaces and architectures at the embryonic stage to be worn and experienced, like a second skin made up of emotions.

The work of the young artist from Perth is a journey into the nature of artificial space and the human perception of the constructed environment. As if a hidden code existed to interpret this nature, her works show forms featuring mathematical properties that generate non-orientable surfaces, like the Möbius strip.

Characteristics which give her pieces an organic, abstract and at the same time anthropomorphic touch. This is why Elizabeth cannot refrain from using malleable materials and treated fabrics in order to be able to build geometries which implode and explode, merging the boundaries between the internal and the external.
