Up Tight Adele Daniele & Danielle Brustman

Collingwood Yards, 2023

Up Tight is a collaboration between Adele Daniele and interior designer Danielle Brustman for Melbourne Design Week 2023.

The Up Tight collection includes hosiery and underwear printed by Spacecraft and modeled by Naarm/Melbourne artists, designers and film-makers as a runway event in the Johnston St Building, Collingwood Arts Precinct.

The event was documented by Vogue Australia. The collection was photographed by Naarm/Melbourne photographer Eryca Green at Westspace Gallery.

“Up Tight is a performance and a happening, showcasing a limited edition range of printed hosiery.

Up tight is a personal shared history and story-telling exercise between two Melbourne designers Adele Daniele and Danielle Brustman. Both share a common history growing up in Melbourne in the 1970s and 80s and a connection through their families to the rag trade and local printing factories of that era. Both designers are current studio residents at Collingwood Yards.

Uptight collects fragmented memories and motifs recalled from childhood clothing, photographs and interior décor and reimagines these motifs in a collection of hand printed hosiery. Come see some catwalk legs dancing at Collingwood Yards.”
