I was in the airport in Atlanta and had just cleared the ever increasingly pleasant security checkpoints, when I stumbled upon something quite refreshing. I had found an exhibit of hand crafted fashion pieces completely made of paper It had been dubbed as the "Paper Runway". I want to apologize in advance for the quality of the photos in this post. I snapped them as quickly as I could with my Iphone while running late for my flight. I would never usually post pictures of this quality, but I thought it was such a fun thing I had to share.
This Ruffled Tatoo Jacket was created by the artist Nancy VanDevender. It is made form cotton an vinyl mixed paper with digital printing, and a combination of hand and machine stitching. In my opinion this piece was able to be bold and extremely interesting while simultaneously remaining fashionable.
When I saw this piece I thought Calvin Klein meets Sasquatch. In actuality this artist made this out of used lottery tickets.
What else can I say but WOW! This piece was created by Kirstin Demer. Her usage of color, structure and presentation is truly amazing. In my opinion this belongs in a gallery not an airport.
