Los Angeles based photographer and visual artist Melanie Pullen is best known for her breathtaking and startling series High Fashion Crime Scenes. In this extensive photo series which has evolved over fifteen years, Pullen recreates grisly true historical-crime scenes, while outfitting her "victims" in haute couture -- 13 million dollars worth. Melanie takes a forensic approach to her work with extensive research, that for this series included visits to the LA Coroner’s office. By incorporating iconic high fashion labels, like Prada and Gucci, Pullen highlights not only America’s cultural obsessions with true crime and consumption, but the ways in which our modern media exploits women and violence.
