BuStopia

BuStopia is an art installation fashion show that explores anxiety, depression, isolation, detachment and empowerment through a simple visual narrative that is rooted in the graffiti etched bus shelter windows. The models start moving in an anxious state obscured from view by the graffitied windows. Graffiti is projected on to them for the first part of the show symbolic of being swamped in mental disorder and chaos. They are wearing white over garments as they approach the outer side of the maze of windows they remove their white garments the graffiti is now encapsulated in their clothing representing taking control and empowerment this is reflected in the final stage of the cat walk
