We've seen a number of futuristic fashions, and the works of Jo Cope, a UK-based conceptual designer, are part Jetsons and part Superwoman. Constructed mainly from hand-dyed wool fused with felt, the dresses consist of unusual angles and lapels, and the accessories are unique and fashion-forward.
In addition, Cope designs bags, such as the do-it-yourself fold out version and the glove purse. As well as her fashion design work, Cope has produced live works, videos, and window installations for TopShop.
