{Fashion Stakeout} Vogue’s 2011 Best Dressed Special Edition
Vogue’s 2011 Best Dressed Special Edition will be available on newsstands starting November 15th.
{inspiration} Papier Couture
I have been going through lots of inspiration books, which are my sketchbooks of clippings that I gather over time, to concept ideas for Fall 09 weddings. I came across some amazing images I have kept on the back burner. The dresses below were completely made from paper! Lia Griffith designed evening wear using a Xerox printer! Oh the Paper Cuts! Ouch! Her design debuted an an AIGA event in Portland, OR in 2006.
The peacock design titled Mystery is a bit easier to spot as paper with those loops, but the second one titled Passion has an amazing texture I would love to see in fabric dresses. It looks like it would be so soft to the touch. But, yeah, it’s not!
