After a long semester of study in texture and form, 50 multidisciplinary Pratt Institute’s School of Art and Design students were challenged to dress Ralph Pucci’s mannequins entirely in paper. The stunning fashion paper works created during this project are now part of an exhibition titled 'Pratt + Paper & Ralph Pucci,' available to be viewed in Pucci’s Gallery Nine Showroom .
Furthermore, these paper dresses and sculptural pieces within the 'Pratt + Paper & Ralph Pucci' exhibit can also be seen at the displays of some famous stores like Macy´s New York.
