White Paper Dress

For my fashion aesthetics class we were given an assignment to make a garment... any garment we wanted. But there was a catch. The garment had to be made entirely out of WHITE PAPER! When we started this project we had to choose an inspiration that our garments would be based around. For my inspiration I chose Japanese culture, more specifically, the Geisha. Over winter break I watched a documentary about this girl who traveled to Japan to learn about and live the life of a Geisha. I found myself fascinated by every aspect of their lifestyle but for my garment I chose to focus on their kimonos. Once our garments were complete we had a photoshoot with the fashion photography class. Words cannot even begin to explain my excitement for this day. Now that everything is finished, I am happy to say I can breathe again... sighhhh. On to the next project!
