Kate Marks.


Canadian designer Kat Marks combines fashion and film in her work. She creates videos that feature her thought-provoking pieces.

Marks has a conceptual approach to her work and is always looking for the boundaries between art, fashion and film. There are connections between medicine, architecture and fetishism in her designs. She mainly focuses on creating body pieces in rigid materials such as plastic that are characterised by sculptural sensual forms.

She has created two collections so far, called Infundibulum and Yugas Elder, which was also featured in a film directed by Daniel Shipp, produced by Goran Boskovic and showcased at Nuit Blanche 2009. Now she is developing her third collection that will have ten designs in plastic, leather and textiles. Besides that, she has just completed a new film, The Granfaloon, an experimental study in fashion presentation that features macabre atmospheres and futuristic body pieces.

Written for BLEND.
