Laura Michaels

This fashion designer used a full body scanner to take a perfectly accurate reading of her model's body. and then in turn, created clothes suited to the contour lines created by her body. It may not be exactly the same as tomography but is definitely still relevant.

Something gave me an idea having watched your video about the swing, which was the idea, within masochism, of being submissive and allowing oneself to be controlled by another.

It might be a bit tenuous but the contour lines created by Michael's body scanning immediately made me think of rope and chains. Think this relates quite nicely to the whole process of tying someone up, and leaving them vulnerable, something that we've seen quite a bit of in our masochism research.
What do you think?





























Might be able to relate the two concepts quite nicely and come up with one of our 3 ideas for class on thursday?
