Soft Sculptures: Seeing and Feeling with Milli Welch and Jamie Maree Shipton

ARTIST Milli Welch
FASHION Jamie-Maree Shipton

Artist Milli Welch and stylist Jamie-Maree Shipton reimagine this year’s collections using an often forgotten, but beloved material: foam. Manipulating the material to resemble the meticulous looks ranging from Chopova Lowena and Ashley Williams to Gucci, Welch and Shipton use bold colours to evoke familiar silhouettes and remind us of the pleasures of touching and feeling clothes.
