Beatrice Oettinger II

Beatrice Oettinger creates amazing clothes and costumes from natural materials for theatre, dance, performance and installation.
As it is Valentines day I thought this 'Rosen Mantel', (top image) or coat of roses was suitably romantic, but so are her other ethereal creations

Beatrice Oettinger I

Working in a world of fantastical fashion Beatrice Oettinger has often used fairy tales for the starting point of her costume and fashion creations. Now she says that she simple needs to take a walk and see a weed growing from a crack in the pavement or a flower to be inspired.
This first of three posts, exploring the work of this German artist/designer, features her 'pea collection'. A transparent dress and underwear with peas sewn inside, inspired by the fairy tale "The princess and the Pea".
