Stunning Paper Dresses by Isabelle de Borchgrave

Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave began her artistic career as a painter, but started making paper costumes for her children after discovering the versatility of paper. She could tear it,crumble it, paint it, glue it, so she found her transition to paper sculpting natural, while maintaining her identity as a painter. It is actually her trompe l’oeil style of painting that gives the paper clothes their appearance of velvet, silk or satin. In 1994, she met Canadian costume designer, Rita Browne and they started creating wonderful garments that span 300 years in fashion history
