“Echoes of Eden“ by Chelsea Jean Lamm in collaboration with Ashley Elizabeth Lamm embraces the vision of a future where humanity and technology coexist in harmony with nature.
With pieces that feature striking cyborg elements and nods to artificial intelligence, this collection challenges us to consider what it means to be human and to embrace the limitless potential of our interconnected world.
Chelsea Jean Lamm - emerging fashion designer from Munich with South African roots - focuses on exploring new possibilities within the realms of the design process by fusing elements of the fine arts and fashion design in collaboration with her sister and creative partner, Ashley Elizabeth Lamm.
Although the birthing process is a very central focus of womanhood and a universal experience to every individual, the motif of a woman giving birth is underrepresented in the arts, deeming it an unspeakable act, that must be concealed.
‘The Birth’ pays tribute to childbirth and honours the power of women. This singular avant-garde design is based on a collaboration with collage artist Ashley Elizabeth Lamm.
This singular avant-garde design reimagines Medusa, the ancient Gorgon, as a force of feminist resilience - a winged monstress with snakes for hair, turning intruders to stone in eternal vengeance. Her name, meaning “protectress,” is reclaimed in our work to challenge victim-blaming narratives, celebrating instead the indestructibility of women.
Created in collaboration with collage artist Ashley Elizabeth Lamm and mask artist Carina Shoshtary, this piece merges myth, wearable art and contemporary discourse into a striking visual statement.
CONTEMPORARY FINE ART
PAPER COLLAGES BY ASHLEY ELIZABETH LAMM
At the heart of our creative process lies the art of collage, crafted by our creative partner, Ashley Elizabeth Lamm.
Each piece is composed of imagery salvaged from discarded print media ~ rescued from book flea markets, second-hand shops and recycling centers. By repurposing these forgotten pages, we breathe new life into lost narratives.
Merging sustainability, artistry and craftsmanship, we redefine fashion as a space where past and future converge ~ preserving stories, reshaping narratives and offering an alternative to disposable culture.
