# Unwearable Clothing Paper Dresses by Violise Lunn By Elit Alice | Published 2008-04-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-clothing-art-paper-dresses-by-violise-lunn References: [elitalice](http://www.elitalice.com/2008/04/19/violise_lunn_paper_dresses/) & [violiselunn.dk](http://www.violiselunn.dk) Violise Lunn danish fashion designer is making one-of-a-kind clothing in her studio in Copenhagen. But the kicker, is that some of the clothing is unwearable. However, her items aren't unwearable for the same reasons as [haute couture clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup). The reason is the material: these dresses are made of paper. Paper gives her freedom to create the dresses and shoes as if she was sculpting angels, playing with "otherwise impossible compositions". And even though one can't wear [paper dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti), she can certainly showcase them in her [exhibitions around the world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** Using unconventional sustainable materials to create innovative clothing designs can drive a trend in environmentally conscious fashion. - **Non-traditional Art:** Combining art and fashion to create non-functional, yet visually stunning pieces can disrupt traditional ideas of what constitutes clothing or art. - **Accessible Art Exhibitions:** Making art installations showcasing these types of non-wearable clothing available in public spaces can bring art to a wider audience and promote an appreciation of unconventional fashion design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Using unconventional materials like paper in fashion design can lead to innovative and environmentally-friendly clothing options. - **Art:** Combining fashion and art can lead to non-traditional, visually stunning pieces that blur the line between clothing and aesthetics. - **Event Planning:** Organizing art exhibitions showcasing non-wearable clothing can bring attention to sustainable materials and promote a new approach to fashion design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [House-Like Paper Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-show-space.md) - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md)
