Step into the world of the visually impossible with this one-of-a-kind dress from the award-winning "Escher in the Impossible" collection, inspired by the iconic work of M.C. Escher. Showcased at Colorado's Green is the New Black Fashion Show, this dress is a masterpiece of innovative design and craftsmanship, perfect for unique fashion enthusiasts and art collectors alike.
Design and Inspiration:
Concept: Inspired by M.C. Escher's exploration of the visually impossible, such as his piece "Dragon," this dress is crafted from "impossible" materials, creating a wearable piece of art that transitions from 2D to 3D.
Materials:
Over 1000 zip ties form the body of the dress, predominantly in black with a striking white section at the midriff.
The neckline is made from durable nylon utility rope, extending down the center back to lace up the dress securely.
The mermaid skirt is constructed from hand-painted cardboard pieces, held together with chain links, transitioning from large boxy shapes at the hem to smaller, fluid forms up the body. The cardboard pieces are painted in a swirling pattern of silver, gray, white, and black acrylic paint.
Unique Features:
Versatility: This dress can be worn as a standout rave fashion piece over a bandeau and shorts or displayed as a sculptural art piece.
Sculptural Accessories:
Legs Belt: A sculptural belt with legs circulating around the wearer's legs, attached to a black stretch belt.
Arms Head Piece: A headpiece with arms circulating from the wearer's head, attached to a black headband.
Materials for Sculptures: Made from chicken wire forms, covered with up-cycled garments from thrift stores, and stuffed gloves and socks to create the illusion of arms and legs. The colors follow a pattern of transitional hues.
Complete Collection:
This garment comes as a whole set, including the zip tie dress, legs belt, arms headpiece, and a pair of knit black gloves.
