Nicol & Ford - Thorn 2024
Presented at Australian Fashion Week in May 2024, Nicol & Ford’s collection THORN celebrates the life and work of underworld Sydney figure Rosaleen Norton (1917-1979).
Presented in three thematic chapters, THORN explores; Norton’s scandalised private life through the lens of 1950s kink; The artist’s sensationalised works, which depicted other-worldly, demonic figures - often of ambiguous gender, converging human and animal bodies; and the persecution of witches throughout history - individuals and outsiders singled out for their “unconventional” lives.
Leather corsets and a cage skirt (shown below), breast plates, and underwear were made for this collection in close collaboration with Nicol & Ford.
