There are some fashions out there that are meant to only be appreciated for their artistic factor and Digna Kosse's creation is one of those cases. She designed these unique dresses from shards of yarn draped over the body.
On exhibit at the Design Academy Eindhoven Graduate Galleries this week, this display by Digna Kosse has 15 minimalist dresses, varying in color, yarn and technique. Check out the designs in the gallery above!
