Mr. Ungless was behind my success at the Academy of Art University... I’m so lucky and blessed to have been able to worked with him along with my design process. I was able to showcase my graduate collection in New York Fashion Week last September 2019 because of him. Thank You Mr. Simon Ungless! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love this! You have given new life to these garments that otherwise would live in a shadowbox. These are your garments to do with otherwise so why not. Very cool!
I like the idea, but why would you use for print an antique garment? You could've made copy of it then use that copy instead of the original piece. I mean that victorian top probably has a value?!
Was just about to say this. Its a waste of a perfectly good piece that enthusiasts and student could have used for reference. Using a destructive method to make a print is not worth ruining this piece of work made ages ago.
If you wanna do some printing, fine, but why ruin actual historical garments for that? These pieces have incredible cultural value from a heritage and artisan point of view. They are very rare and contrary to a modern couture garment cannot be easily reproduced. Randomly smearing black paint on them is unnecessary and incredibly ignorant when you could just as well use amy other garment for this. This is not showing appreciation for the garment by transforming it, this is just plain lazy. Not gonna debate whether it is 'art' because everyone has to decide that for themselves but maybe consider that you're using non-replaceable artifacts.
This makes me sick, it’s one thing to ruin something historical to make it beautiful but wth? He didn’t create anything remarkable or exciting. We know margiela use to do something similar the only difference his worked and this just did n’t.
Everyone is talking about why ruining an antique garment, but I mean, why not? It's fashion and that's the more exciting thing about it, if the garment wouldn't have a value I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the same, I love recycle and that's the magic of it.
Agreed. Simon knows well enough what garments are truly "historical" or "artifacts". Pretty sure he wouldn't just screen print a museum quality Victorian era garment.
Most of us don't have access to antique garments and they seem to have a lot of value to us. It might not be 'wrong' or whatever but it's hard to watch, lol.
I think recycling is great but that's not what's being done here! The idea of recycling is that you alter something that's broken to make it wearable again. A historical garment doesn't have the same status/role as a modern mass-produced piece of clothing though, it has scholarly value attached to it no matter its condition. Therefore, in my opinion the recycling/upcycling argument doesn't really apply here because we're not talking about modern daily dress. Whether it looks 'timely' or 'fresh' is irrelevant so there's no reason to alter it and in a way destroy evidence about construction techniques, material, colour etc.
It's not being destroyed, it's being revived. The result is fabulous. I don't know how you don't see that the original garnet is old and outdated and after the printing it becomes modern and edgy.
To everyone complaining, age alone is not an indication of value. Simon wouldn't be doing this to some well preserved, one of a kind piece of couture from Worth. Your paroxysms of grief over fairly common garments is misplaced. Ai Weiwei did this to 5-7,000 year old pots. At least one of them was given to him, and presumably by someone that knew he was alter the garment. And that is OK.
I can see where the beauty can lie in this abstracted impressions from the crushed drape. Wish it was in variations in color. Some metallic foiling. Breaking up the lace design in illustrator and maybe develop a screen to do repetitive patterns.

I had dinner with him last night. He's an awesome individual.

He's probably not ruining a garment that actually has value but it's still hard to watch him rub ink all over it. o.o
Really disappointed to see an 170 year old garment being destroyed.
Cool process. But why destroy historical artifacts
It's not being destroyed, it's being revived. The result is fabulous. I don't know how you don't see that the original garnet is old and outdated and after the printing it becomes modern and edgy.
That is so gorgeous!! ❤️❤️❤️
THE fashion print master.
What kind of paint is used? Acrilic? But what exactly?

I find this inspiring. These items aren’t so hard to come by. I love this technique and plan to use it with my own twist. Thanks for sharing.
I love this, I study lingerie design at uni, definitely going to try this to get some new print designs!
oh no, poor corset

it's looks like a fashion student school work.
