Nice!
We had to share our huge admiration for the cult brand DAMSELFRAU @damselfrau . London based, Norwegian designer Manghalid Kennedy’s creative vision, usage of needlecraft techniques and passion for vintage sourcing continually delivers incredible pieces of art - blurring the lines between fashion, costume and art.
…
What started as a hobby for Manhalid steadily evolved into creating art pieces expressed into wearable masks that have abundance of personality taking us into worlds beyond our imagination - the Damselfrau universe.
…
Lace, beads, sequence & ribbons are some of the plethora of materials that she uses to make her weird and wonderful, if sometimes unsettling, mysterious or even sexy pieces…
…
“I work with masks as autonomous works of art as well as action-objects. For me the mask is a place where different elements come together as situation. The work is about this place-situation, more so than the mask as a theme or category of form. The mask is a place. I am led by the phantasms appearing in the process of the making and the materials themselves. These guide my decisions and inform the objects I make. The becoming of character as play, in between the theatrical projective and the actual of the veil, has the effect that the masks equally are subject to the projection of others as well as my own. It is in this space that the objects exist and where I find new ones.” states @damselfrau
