Ltd. ed. 14/50. This special edition includes a cloth folder with two prints: a silkscreen reproduction of an invitation card for a Laurence Dupré' fashion show (her 1987 collection) designed by Loulou Picasso - screen printed (6 colours) on A4 Aquarelle paper 300gr - signed by both Loulou and Laurence, and a rare photo printed on heavy duty fine art paper of Laurence Dupré and Throbbing Gristle from the iconic 1980 Camouflage photo session (done by Peter Christopherson) signed by Laurence

 

When Throbbing Gristle donned their infamous camouflage uniforms in 1980 it became a pivotal statement for industrial and post-industrial fashion. 
Few of the countless imitators realised that those particular uniforms were custom-made and designed by their close ally Laurence Dupré. In true T.G. fashion expectations were confounded and a deeper level of importance literally hidden away from easy deciphering. 

This is an extensive overview of Laurence Dupré’s early career raging from her DiY fashion zines of the late 70s/early 80s dealing with camouflage patterns and appliances, her collages for Sordide Sentimental, her meeting with Genesis P-Orridge in Hackney to her design worky not only for the TG uniforms, but also other aspects of the latter day TG image.
