The Matthew Brodie 'Paper Dresses' Collection is Avant-Garde

— October 1, 2011 — Fashion
When it comes to designer couture, you never know what's around the corner and sure enough the Matthew Brodie 'Paper Dresses' collection is extremely extravagant. Art Director Matthew Brodie and his team not only created the entire set of paper, but they also designed five dresses out of mere A3 size paper. This amazing art form was specially designed for the Madame magazine spread this year.

Matthew Brodie definitely made eyes pop and jaws drop with such an avant-garde collection. According to Matthew, "We really wanted to create something beautiful from a material that doesn't normally lend itself to being draped and shaped on a living being." Well, it was certainly a job well done. It's creativity like this that inspires designers to think out-of-the-box and come up with mind-blowing ideas.
