The craft involved in fashion seems to be crossing over into the world of art more and more often. Fashion as art and craft as a means to making fashion more individual and unexpected are stepping into the limelight across the web. A fine example of both these things can be found in the work of Nicole Dextras.
Nicole, an artist working from her studio on Granville Island in Vancouver BC, uses fashion as part of her art. Her Iceworks involving garments encased in ice show the transitory side of life and a walk through her Weedrobes features some stunning garments that put the figleaves of the past to shame.
The artist also teaches from her studio as well as volunteering for local art organizations.
A fascinating look at art, craft and fashion all rolled into something inspiring.
