Blondes to Brunettes presents the current designer in residence, RMIT fashion design graduate, milliner Nikolina Kucan, and her featured installation ‘Fringe’.
Nikolina says, “the installation is an extension of my recent experiments with shape and form. As much as I strive to create aesthetically pleasing pieces, my work is as much about technicality and refining my method of practice.
With ‘Fringe’, a simple thing like removing a shape from a sculpted form moved the piece into new dimension. Challenging our own notions of the perceived silhouette as well as introducing imperfect perfection… Who would have thought that cutting into a intended shape would bring it so much life and exquisiteness.
‘Fringe’ for the Blondes to Brunettes + RMIT Fashion Friendship is a millinery realisation on a larger scale.
