Alex McQuire (AM) is a Melbourne based fashion designer currently completing her Master of Fashion (Design) at RMIT University.
Looking at the ordinary wardrobe as a site of continual negotiation, Alex explores how value structures are materialised and performed in both fashion and our everyday experience.
Her Masters collection presents a series of fragmented material investigations that insert heavy and fragile items into easy-wear garment archetypes. In reference to a wardrobe that is near routine, Alex explores a dislodged sense of comfort, bringing into view our tendency to hold on to objects and things that present hopeful possibilities, whilst simultaneously wear away at us.
