Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Art, Craft, Fun, Play?
This is Ilisha Helfman's project dressing her hand crafted paper dolls in collaged articles from the New York Time's Sunday magazine.

"What would happen if I made clothing from every magazine cover The New York Times dished out over the course of a year? What fun! I could be like a contestant on Project Runway, scissors poised, ready to take on my next design challenge!" Ilisha Helfman

What did happen is an incredible body of work that has lessons to teach in using popular culture as an inspiration, in design sources, mood boards, graphic design and fashion design. 

Fifikoussout's gallery of dresses

A simple dress form is transformed radically by its surface pattern and design. Fifikoussout a French illustrator and artist has been exploring this by using photoshop to merge her favourite designs, paintings, themes and colours onto this simple dress template creating amazing dress designs that I for one would love to own. (thank you)

"This was for fun . . . an inspirational thing.
the concept behind it is like a virtual vernissage, as if you could dress up to go to an exhibition, wearing the art itself" Alice (Fifikoussout)

Moa

I love this as an idea for composing look books or keeping a clothes diary  . . . just tape up a picture of you or someone else and then tape up the outfit underneath it. This is by Moa in appreciation of her tutu skirt.

Pamela Reed and Mathew Radar pack their collaborative work with fun, style, creative zeal and technical know how, their fashion presentation, for it is more than photography, is exploding with ideas and experimentation.

Too good not to share some more.
