Edie Pell, Bachelor of Fashion (Design)(Honours), Come as your Madness

'Come as your Madness' is a collection that holds a mixture of esoteric, theatric and hallucinogenic visuals influenced by Kenneth Anger’s films and witchcraft. It features threatening and villainous characters embedded with positive subliminal symbols, as a response to how witches and some deities/mythical creatures are misunderstood as evil.
