Currently showing at DreamBagsJaguarShoes is an exhibition inspired by Alexandra Groover’s RESURRECTION AW13 collection. Together with long term friend Roisin Dunne’s mysterious occult imaginings, the space has been transformed into a dream-like, curtain-swathed séance room. Expect beautifully drawn sigil wallpaper patterns and what seems to be black apparitions emerging from the ceiling, which are in fact several of Groover’s dresses draped elegantly by their skirt hems. Tabletops metamorphose into custom designed Alexandra Groover Ouija boards, with planchette shaped candle holders and large bouquets of lilies that sip the black ink from their vases.

About the artists:
After studying at Central Saint Martins and RISD, and working in the studios of Alexander McQueen and Zandra Rhodes, Alexandra Groover launched her first collection for A/W 2009 and has collaborated with cult bands SunnO))), Dave.i.d and Bo Ningen. After studying a BA in Fashion Design Womenswear at Central Saint Martins, Roisin Dunne went on to complete a Masters in Communication Art & Design at the RCA. Here she was allowed to fully explore the themes of the colour black and the occult, in which she still continues to draw inspiration from. In 2011 Ditto Press put out a retrospective book of Roisin’s work called Black Light.
