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!
Implications - Aesthetic appeal and style are surpassing comfort in terms of aspects of design that customers are most interested in. Rather than using comfort level as the main attraction of an item, companies can sell a product by appealing to a customer's desire for beauty and originality.
