COMMISSION

A small selection of commissioned works kicks off with the highly influential installation for Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge: A Celebration Of 10 Years Of Food And Fashion in 2001. Tornadoes of china, glassware and cutlery topped by huge cakes, neon symbols and strobes placed this in the Top 5 displays of the year; the installation featured in The Face & Boy George performed within the windows. Neon vizors & insane millinery were also designed by THE DnA FACTORY MRSS, the fashion by Marc Jacobs.
