ULTRAVIRUS wearables are born from the mind of graphics and textile artist, costume designer, goblin/stylist, Georgia Harper, who operates on Gadigal land.
They prefer dusk, trend-forecasted crocs before Balenciaga, and are excited by the discovery that platypuses and wombats are biofluorescent under UV light.
Georgia recently finished working on Marvel's latest feature film doing specialty costume, and now spends their time conjuring ULTRAVIRUS wearables and focusing on their personal practice. Their work encompasses creating garments that employ localism through vintage re-use, an eco-punk ethos and speculative textile design (most recently spawning and sewing kombucha leather). Georgia’s practice aims to create consciousness around modern consumption arrogance in the West, with a fashion-futuring motif. Graphic design is their passion.
"I’ve been playing dress ups, creating characters, photographing them, and distorting imagery since a very young age. The irony of paying for a monthly FaceTune subscription only to make nonsensical cretins out of myself turns me on. I naturally am drawn to items and concepts that the majority find repulsive… I’m sincere about irony… discuss."
