The collection by Louise Gray for Topshop Australia is exactly what a fan of the designer would come to expect from her. As stated on her website, "Her work centres around appreciating the bizarre in an attempt to escape the banal." Filled with quirky sequins, pop art-like details, saturated colors and an overall cut and paste aesthetic, the line is far from banal and full of the bizarre.
Starring the young UK designer herself, who just recently completed a Masters in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins School of Art, the Louise Gray for Topshop Australia campaign is as full of character as the collection. With her shock of platinum blond hair and pastel makeup, Gray is a Warhol portrait come to life.
