Icon Couture turns the lens toward the faces whose silhouettes already live in our collective memory: icons of song, screen, sport and street.
Each portrait begins with a chosen black-and-white image, then is slowly re-couturised through weeks of hand-embroidery. Patterns are drawn from the icon's own era, then layered with the studio's signature retro-pop-art-revolutionary vocabulary.
New pieces are added to this room as they leave the embroidery frame. Preview viewings on request.
