Custom look for
@katfive_ 's "Truth is the New Gold" live performance with
@feralfive and
@primitivelight in 2024.
Kat Five approached us in creating her outfit for her new album release: "Truth is the new Gold". The idea was that of a fantasy space warrior priestess inspired by Xenia, Cyberpunk and Gemma & the Holograms to match Feral Five's sci-fi distopyan yet hopefull music. I wanted her to be a high priestess and her hooded attendants having a cyber futuristic multimedia ritual.
Since the palette was obviously gold, texture and opacity would become the main design motif. The process was focused on loads of experiments on textile treatments, the aim being to create textures like that of metal plating, pristeen or coroded. The idea of the future was everpresent, and I wanted the materials to reflect that; everything was made from scraps of reclaimed fabrics unified by layers of gold foil as if the metal leaked out from decaying circuitry. We created the whole look of the band, each wearing gold foiled hoods made of layers of sparkling mesh, including one made for digital artist Jonathan Hoog who was creating visuals live onstage.
Many thanks to
@katfive_ for inviting me into such an amazing project.
