The photo series titled Beautiful Decay by Enid Almanza, a fashion designer and stylist based in Houston, Texas, is chock full of eccentrically grandiose scenarios that is as dramatic as an operatic performance. Yet the fashion is far from traditional. Instead, there is a futuristic vibe about each design as though the apocalypse happened and the who's who of the remaining population felt it necessary to create opulent costumes with what was at hand.
From hats made out of forks and clothespins to bodysuits made out of industrial coils, Beautiful Decay by Enid Almanza showcases a range of out-of-this-world outfits that are more like wearable art pieces. The sculptural silhouettes could easily take over an art gallery exhibit tomorrow, if need be.
