Wonderland Tour - Posted 2nd May 2008

London College of Fashion

Helen Storey and her team created the Disappearing Dresses in a studio workshop installation at the London College of Fashion Gallery between January 29th and February 29th.  Over the 26 days of the exhibition one dress was lowered gradually into a pool of water, dissolving in the college window for all to see.

Wonderland at LCF was a very successful eye-opening event, both for the Helen Storey team and it’s audience. The exhibition received public and critical acclaim including some extraordinary individual responses.

“Merging the fields of technology, chemistry, art and fashion, Wonderland evokes an element of magic that connects the viewer with an important underlying message”
(WGSN, The world's leading online service for the fashion and style industries)

For more information, interviews and images about the event at LCF and to read through Helen’s blog of her time there please see www.showstudio.com/wonderland
