A lot of time recently has been taken up with various fashion projects (including the fashion156 competition - which is coming along nicely by the way - I will post details soon!), and for this I have had to take time out for 'me'. It gets rather hectic working full time in fashion, coming home and sketching/draping, keeping up with the blog, updating scrap/sketchbooks and trying to lead have some kind of social life away from this computer. That all sounds rather tragic now it's in type, but that's not my intention. Bla bla, shut it Carl.
Anyways...I have always had a fascination with the fashion/art divide and rules which lay between them. Li Xiaofeng is a Beijing artist who uses fashion as a platform to present his art, albeit in a very literal way. Using porcelain china from the song, ming, yuan and qing dynasties, he 'sews' segments onto a leather undergarment to create beautifully sculptural pieces of art. Incredibly these pieces can actually be worn, as illustrated below.
P.S. - i can't believe no-one liked the Prada video from the previous post!
