White Spaces Between

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he location of the shoot, the now derelict baths in Blackrock, was decided upon even before there was any thought on the clothes. It is geographically liminal, occupying the space between the DART station and the sea. But it is also temporally in transition, existing in a time between its heyday as a popular nineteenth century leisure spot and just before it is completely demolished and redeveloped. The liminality of place directed the styling of the shoot. It was important for this shoot that the garments by Caoimhe MacNeice, a womenswear designer and recent graduate of NCAD, be worn by both male and female models. The idea was not just to break binaries but to create out of the rubble a proposition for a new way of dressing.
