My latest historical costume paper sculpture. She was created to be part of the opening Gala for SLASH! an exhibition of paper art at the Museum of Art and Design, New York.

She will be on view after January 15th at Kate's Paperie on 13th St (btw 5th Ave and 6th Ave) for New York Fashion Week.

For this sculpture I used many pages of the book Ruffian: Inside Out (Assouline). Her bustle features pictures of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais designing the collections, as well as images of their prints, inspiration reference, sketches and the lovely models who illuminate Ruffian's silhouettes. The stripe pattern was made by cutting up quotes from the book and reassembling them to in a pinstripe pattern which was then draped into her skirting. Her bodice features a 2 layer floral pattern that I illustrated and then cut through.  She has a Ruffian lace colar, lace cuffs, and a floral hat with paper flowers and a paper feather detail. Her body is covered in LeMonde newspaper.
