Fashion is Art

All my life I have been into fashion and it is a major part of my life. Fashion gives me a creative forum to express my self in ways other forms of art can not. I see what you wear as a mirror of your inner self and  and they way you feel. Sitting watching an old Dereck Lam fashion show I was inspired to create a piece of art that represents both of my passions, fashion and art.

 For this piece I used recycled coupon newspapers and and glue. It was't easy trying to shape and form the news print paper into the style I wanted so the design changed quite a few times. My end design became a two piece garment, a bandeau top and ruffled bottom. Creating the dress in paper signified the first design and the first idea will last forever but it can always be changed  and made better and that goes for things that happens in life.
