Susie Macmurray-Widow


A gown made from Napa leather and approximately 10,000 dressmaker pins is absolutely stunning. This garment couldn’t be worn at all, it holds all elements off loss and incredible pain that is unbearable, like wearing this dress would be. On first glance the gown looks made from soft fur further from the actual truth of material used, the pins are sharp and edgy which could do some real damage. It is said that the pins represent a women’s identity: “Look if you will, but touch at your own peril”. A dress made out of sharp pins is an insight to how Susie Macmurray sees things, she is inventive and her choice in materials is thoughtful and curious.
