Fourteen exhibits enclosed in glass run from East 61th Street through East 76th Street. The layout is called One-Of-A-Kind Luxury, and the outfits are made of unusual materials for clothing, including house keys, packing peanuts, computer keys, forks and spoons, white paint, copper pennies and orange earplugs.
Dresses designed using: 1) silverware (the bust is created from 2 ladles, the neckless is a spoon); 2) copper pennies; 3) Monopoly themes.
A cup of tea to go with a stylin' raincoat made of teabags anyone? Take a look.
Clothing created from: 1) paint; 2) Lipton teabags; 3) left - metal keys and right - packing peanuts; 4) earplugs.
Each reveal looks posh in my humble opinion. If designed out of cloth, people would want to wear them. The students are as talented and clever as the professionals whose couture shops face their creations.
Dresses made using 1) tree bark; 2) left - darts and right - computer keys; and 3) the slinky.
The art exhibit will run through November 15, and it's free! Walk down Madison Avenue for a close-up. Enlarge the photos I snapped by clicking on each one, or simply hold down your "command" and "+" keys at the same time. Here is a Print magazine link to see the 3 exhibits I do not have photographs of using: 1) tin cans, 2) wheat stalks and pencils and 3) a computer (program part). Between my blog and Print magazine (Ahh, with a better camera), you get an excellent view of the show! |

What fun! It is always interesting to see what fashion students come up with. I think I like the silver one the best, great use of ladles :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the silverware makes a pretty dress, Trish. It consists of 491 pieces of silverware. The student, Filipa Mota, who created it bought the forks and spoons at 2nd hand stores and said the dress was very heavy. The copper dress is made with 12,500 pennies by Mert Avadya. I happened to walk up Madison Avenue on the Sunday the displays went up and spoke with the artists of those two works. They were humble and so excited for their work to be shown on Madison in front of the leading fashion houses.
DeleteI didn't get all the artists names, but a few:
The dress of earplugs was constructed by Julia Fama.
The white paint dress is by Fernando Alvarenga.
Matthew Iacovelli designed the Monopoly suit.
Christopher Choe made the raincoat of tea bags, saying they could have made 14,500 cups of tea.
A tree bark gown is by Bobby Cao.
Daniel J. Menelly created the keyboard key tuxedo.
And is a link to a couple more of the exhibits, I didn't photograph from Print magazine: http://www.printmag.com/branding/weekend-heller-occupy-madison-ave.
