Guo Pei I

I thought this wedding dress by China's only couture fashion designer Guo Pei was simply incredible the intense primary colours, the detail and texture come together in an awe inspiring spectacle. This dress was part off Guo Pei's 'Legend of the Dragon' show staged in Bejing in 2012

threeASFOUR 'Fest'

Avant-garde fashion and communal food rituals came together in 'Fest', an interactive performance to unite people across cultures, and in all the worlds cultures there is some form of bread. threeASFOUR  used freshly baked Challal bread to construct costumes based on complex wire dress forms, for a one off show where the audience could smell and touch the 'garments'.

“We are using this as a unifying medium,” explained Asfour. “Almost everybody in the world has bread in their culture. It’s a unifying theme.” Fest was a performance at the Jewish Museum on November 11th 2013.

threeASFOUR's work collides different form and fabric in wonderful asymmetric designs that are incredibly rich compositions of texture and design. This winter 2013 collection was inspired by horoscopes, top to bottom image: Gemini, Scorpio and Cancer.
