# Sculptural Couch Cover Dresses Yulia Yadryshnikova's Dress Also Works as a Couch Cover By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couch-cover References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/05/14/yulia-yadryshnikova-fashion-collection-luca-nichetto/) & [yypattern](http://www.yypattern.com/) Expressing the similarities between the worlds of fashion and furniture, the new capsule collection from Yulia Yadryshnikova functions as dresses, as well as covers for the [Stanley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stanley-1913-x-target) sofa by Luca [Nichetto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-collection). Yadryshnikova took the upholstery fabric on Luca Nichetto's Stanley sofa and turns it into unusual, [sculptural garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noom-hello-sofa) that still resemble dresses, although they're not quite the norm. The heavy nature of the couch cover gives the dresses a weightiness that's perfect for holding points, pleats and folds, and with these, Yadryshnikova uses carefully placed cuts in the fabric to play with both a yellow and a gray fabric with slightly different textures. The unusual fashion collection by Yadryshnikova will be on display beside the Nichetto furniture during this year's New York Design Week at Ludlow Studios. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multi-functional Designs:** Designing products that serve multiple purposes, such as furniture that doubles as fashion. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Creating fashion using upholstery fabric to repurpose old or unused materials. - **Collaborative Design:** Partnering with furniture designers to create unique and innovative fashion pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Designing sustainable fashion using unconventional materials. - **Furniture:** Exploring collaboration opportunities with fashion designers to create unique, multi-functional pieces. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating multi-functional furniture pieces into interior design projects for space-saving and innovative solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Denim-Covered Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-nuriev.md) - [Oblong Color-Blocked Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meritalia-morphologica-collection.md) - [Reimagined Monolithic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture.md) - [Reimagined Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon.md) - [Parka Jacket-Inspired Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parka-sofa.md) - [Ukraine-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-yakusha.md) - [Ribbed-Cushioned Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-design.md) - [Envelope-Packaged Couch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couch-in-an-envelope.md) - [Denim-Upholstered Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denimupholstered-sofas.md)
