Whenever I am fortunate enough to stumble upon some mind-blowing works of art, I am constantly amazed at the extreme creativity some lucky people are blessed with.

When I came across these stunning dresses and creations, and I mean stunning creations, I audibly gasped. They are the work of British artist and designer Zoe Bradley.

Formerly with Alexander McQueen, Bradley has continued to create spectacular visions of art, using of all materials, luxury papers. Her work ranges from these incredible dresses to headpieces, store displays and window displays.

With a client list that runs the gamut from Donna Karan, Marithe and Francois Girbaud to Liberty of London, it is no wonder she is in great demand.
