Chatelaine and buttons by 404 Pieces, created for @ursula__xo ‘s ‘To Have & To Hold’ collection Styled with @ursula__xo ‘s stunning garments, and framed photograph by @sylwiemartin ‘s For @emergingartists_collective x @melbfashionweek The Chatelaine ❦ Originated in the 16th century & reimagined in the 19th, Chatelaines were a stylish way to display functional items on one’s body. The term ‘Chatelaine’ is derived from the French for “lady or mistress of the castle” ❦ Made from a book stand I’d thrifted years prior, I riveted clasps into the back so that it may clip over the waistband of Ursula’s divine handmade grey shorts, later adding a brooch pin for extra security ❦ Trinkets hang at the bottom, attached to the upper brooch with rope chains. Some trinkets are functional, while others hold more decorative and sentimental value The Buttons ❦ Roller printed doily pattern on Nickel Silver plate, laser cut into shape, polished to a glossy finish ❦ Sewn onto Ursula’s beautiful handmade green jacket, and grey shorts, these buttons were created to compliment the collar I made for the very same collection If you’re interested in borrowing the Chatelaine for photoshoots or creative projects, please reach out to @ursula__xo ❦ If you’d like to read more about the collection, see the link in my bio ❦ Huge thank you to Ursula for inviting me to collaborate with her on this project. It was an honour to work with her, and to have our project featured in this incredible runway!

Introducing our FINAL designer for our @melbfashionweek runway - @404pieces ⭐️ “Hi, my name is Claire. I’m an apprentice Jeweller creating wearable art from my bedroom studio here in Naarm, under the brand name ‘404 Pieces’. What started as a beadworking hobby to de-stress after a hard day’s work quickly evolved into my life’s passion. Inspired by Gothic, Victorian, and Baroque art and architecture, I enjoy working with both precious and recycled materials to create striking and sentimental pieces. Creating handmade traditional jewellery at TAFE, machine-made jewellery at work, and teaching myself wax carving and non-traditional jewellery making skills at home, I’m able to experiment with a variety of techniques and tools. My most recent collaboration with Fashion Designer Ursula Bucek has inspired me to pursue creating more avant-garde, runway-style pieces. Still at the beginning of my journey, I invite you to join me as I learn and grow as an artist, to experience the evolution of 404 Pieces.” 28 designers are presenting on our runway this week!
