Molly Younger

Molly Younger graduated from RMIT University with a B.A Design (Fashion) First Class Honours in Melbourne, Australia, 2013.

Her work is concerned with the engagement and relationship between fashion and sculpture in the practice of representing and presenting the human figure. Taking the viewpoint of fashion and sculpture as mediums, focusing on the practice of, the craftsmanship involved and the figures represented and presented.

Mould making is the principle technique with a latex and paint mix as the predominate material, applied onto the mould to produce a basis for garments.
Molly approaches the mould as an abstracted human figure grounded in both the technique and methods of sculpture in creating the figure (modeling and sculpting) and the technique and method of fashion in presenting the figure (pattern making). The mould represents the body through measurements, and abstracts the body visually. It is a tool, a pattern, a block, a product for reproduction and interpretation; it represents process as sculpture.

She was selected to present her graduate collection, 'Form/Worn' at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2013, Virgin Australian Melbourne Fashion Festival in the National Graduate Showcase 2014 and London Graduate Fashion Week in the International Catwalk 2014.
