Dresses featuring thousands of hand-blown glass balls.
To create the garment, the
designer coated thousands of glass balls with transparent silicone. The
silicone enabled the bubbles to stick together in a solid structure, forming a
"bioluminescent prism around the body". The bubble-like
balls were arranged into a high-necked, sleeveless bodice and
extended out from the waist into a skirt. Another dress was influenced by
the work of Japanese artist Kohei Nawa, who creates animal forms out of glass
bubbles and large-scale installations using foam. Borrowing his technique,
the designer integrated thousands of droplet-shaped crystals into a long
silicone dress so they appear to be dripping down the body.
