Using the laser cutting method, Elvira ‘t Hart is able to translate her artist’s sketches literally, creating cutout clothing that appears unfinished with a cross-hatched design. The collection was showcased along with life-sized versions of the artist’s drawings, demonstrating just how close to reality the doodles have become.
