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.
