Sydney based artist, Brian
Walker credits his desire to seamlessly fuse fashion,
illustration and the element of surprise as the driving creative
force behind his artworks. The digital artist is inspired by surreal
landscapes, the evolution of fashion and changing popular culture.
Walker takes these inspirational genres and merges them with his
concept of using photography as a tool to represent the ideas
of the impossible.

How
You Make It explores artisanal fashion design practices
that draw on traditional tailoring techniques to form contemporary
collections. Existing garments are deconstructed: unpicked, reconfigured
and reworked, using fine tailoring and conceptual templates in
order to create a new style of clothes. These conceptual Australian
fashion designers open a dialogue between craft and design that
places the focus back on how and why objects are made.

have explored the abundant source of inspiration within Australia,

the repetitive trend of overseas influence.
