Emerging artist and designer Elizabeth Delfs is one of a small group of WA designers to exhibit in the invitation only L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival: The Future is Now in March 2007.
Delfs's first solo show The Space Between will be held in the internationally acclaimed and award winning brand new offices of architects HASSELL at 61Little Collins Street, Melbourne.
After being selected in 2006 as one of two WA artists to exhibit in Talente, a prestigious annual international competition recognizing exceptional emerging work in art and craft held in Munich, Delfs has since exhibited in California and Western Australia, receiving critical recognition and much interest in her hybrid practice.
Formally trained in fashion and textile design at Curtin University of Technology, Delfs's work sits at the intersection of art, garment, object and the built environment.
Her work vacillates between habitations and figurative sculpture, created through innovative applications of traditional textile processes with a palette of industrial materials such as foam and fly wire.
She works in direct relation to the body and her objects can be viewed on the body or installed in a gallery setting, and when installed create a sense of unfamiliar sensuality.

After nearly 10 years in the fashion industry, I have certainly become jaded.
Fashion used to be fascinating, exciting, and something I was truly passionate about.
Recently, it was more about getting a job that paid well, and didn't mean working crazy hours.
I watch nearly every catwalk show during the main fashion weeks, luckily not in person, but a quick flip through fashion news gives me enough overview to keep up to date on what is going on.
Surprisingly, these past few weeks have been quite exciting as far as catwalks go.
Menswear, for the first time in ages, actually looks genuinely exciting. And the Haute Couture shows were stunning as well, especially the Dior show.
For the first time in over 5 years, I felt emotion from fashion.
