Above: lamp dress.

Above are some stills from the film below of Marianne Maric's lamp dresses and shadow performances.

Marianne Maric I

Marrianne Maric's work straddles, art, fashion, styling, costume and performance. It is challenging in its explorations of feminine sexuality and exciting in its fun and possibility. Marrainne has been playing with light, the dresses constructed from lamp shades have built in lights that can be turned on and off. This theme in Marianne's work has extended into skirts that can rotate around the wearer casting shadows creating a stunning performance piece.

Kulte 'Insouciance'

‘Insouciance’ is a series of abstract geometric still life’s that introduces Kulte's SS2012 colour pallet, prints and fabrics . A very graphic and original promotion that showcases the upcoming theme of their collection very well. (thanks)

Geraldine Husson

French artist designer Geraldine Husson crosses genres of art and design in her concepts and working practice. Geraldine's 'dresses' are hybrids between fashion and seating, they are fantastic as sculptural forms, intriguing as garments and an inspiration.

Lost in Lace II

Above: Anna Bascou 's installation at 'Lost in Lace' consists of a cotton screen created using Alencon lace technique and a hovering bed of cotton and feathers 'Jardin de li' that floats above a brass wire version of 'Le May' an erotic 16th century poem.

Emilie Faif I

French artist Emilie Faif's portfolio has blown me away tonight. Emilie creates amazing works sculptures and installations with textiles but also does performance and video art. I adore this dress growing out of (or into) an upholstered organic environment.
It's like the dress is dreaming . . . I love it!
