London photos: high-vis high fashion

hivisdress1

On display at Loncon last weekend was this wonderful dress — probably not very practical or wearable — by artist Helen Schell, made from high-visibility fabric, like the kind that safety vests worn by construction or railroad workers are made of. The photo above (larger version here) was taken without a flash. Turn the flash on, and this is what you get:

More on Schell’s work, which is “inspired by space exploration and phenomena of the cosmos,” at The Newbridge Project.
