'Fashion ideas from the hardware store'

Article:

Dresses accentuated with cable ties and reticulation hose, handbags and shoes made from palm fronds and a chandelier constructed from marzipan are just some of the weird and wonderful creations on display at the Beyond Garment exhibition at the Maritime Museum in Fremantle. Part of this month's Perth Fashion Festival, the exhibition gives 20 young Perth designers the chance to showcase fashion accessories as works of art in their own right. Exhibition curator Anne Farren said the pieces ranged from the wearable to the conceptual and represented a journey through fashion as seen through the eyes of jewellery designers, artists and sculptors. "It is really art for the body," she said. "These are beautiful objects that can be acknowledged as works of art in themselves." Sarah Pauley, this year's face of the Perth Fashion Festival, posed in several of jewellery designer Alister Yiap's spectacular creations, including a dress accessorised with cable ties and acrylic pieces and chunky 3-D acrylic jewellery that would not look out of place on pop star Lady Gaga. "I think people become more adventurous when you break down those boundaries," Yiap said. "I am really interested in using different materials." The exhibition runs from Friday until November 28. Entry is free.

The West Australian newspaper article, written by Lindsay McPhee, highlights one of the exhibitions that are part of this month's Perth Fashion Festival. The exhibition will be held at the Maritime Museum in Fremantle and display 'weird and wonderful' fashion created with hardware store inspiration.

The article features comments from the designers about the display, and doesn't contain any of the journalists opinions on the display, or the Perth Fashion Festival itself. The journalist has included where the exhibition is, when and the entry fee.

The statements and opinions included in the article are those of the fashion designer and the exhibition curator. The article is based on the facts of the exhibition and seems relatively unchanged by the journo from the press release.

I don't think the journo has visited the exhibition herself before writing the article, as I think this would have caused more of her opinion on the exhibition, rather than just the facts.
