At MMU every year the foundation course holds a Cardboard catwalk where the students are split into teams and have to create an outfit for the catwalk based on the a theme. The outfit has to be made solely from cardboard. This year’s theme was ‘odd couples’ and each team was given to very different artists and had to come up with a response to them. My team was given Andy Warhol and Paul Gauguin. I was dressed as an electric chair to represent one of Andy Warhol’s most famous pieces with bright bold coloring to reflect Gauguin’s style. We made a big Cross to represent Gauguin’s most famous piece ‘the yellow Christ’ and used one of his quotes ‘Society is what makes you sick’ to show Andy Warhol style Branding.
