Primitive and yet magica,l these are papercuts by the famous storyteller and writer Hans Christian Andersen. They have a modern minimalism that belies that fact that they are almost two hundred years old. Often created as apart of his storytelling practise these papaercuts were produced in front of an audience. What I love about these is how the clothes have been so clearly rendered the silhouette is instant and I think it would be great fun to apply this technique to your design practise and sketchbooks.

Extra Extra Paper Doll




Paper is plant fibre and has many common qualities with fabric, therefore it is a great medium for experimenting, manipulating, cutting and folding it can make startling costume pieces. These examples of paper fashion are the result of a collaborative project by Amy M Phillips and Fairlight Hubbard, a called Extra Extra Paper Doll. Amy and Fairlight are stylists, photgraphers and art directors who also own a model agency called Eye Management.
