the inspiration, dress by Alexander McQueen |
At first glance this might just look like a colorful dress, but it's far from ordinary. It's actually made out of gummy bears! For their debut, TWELV Magazine had artists Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi create the masterpiece to pay homage to the late Alexander McQueen. Their creation was inspired by his 2008 spring/summer collection. To create the 220 pound dress, steel wire was twisted into the shape of the dress then covered with a sheet of vinyl. Each gummy bear was then glued by hand to create the colorful pattern. After three weeks of hard work creating the dress it was then fitted exactly to model Jessica Pitti's measurements. This must be even more jaw dropping in person, I would love to see it. Talk about eye candy!
