Stunning Tyvek Dresses

Designer Hila Martuzana provides four sets of stunning new Tyvek dresses in a picture set called The Rhythm of Paper, related to the four seasons. Of course, it's not paper, it's Tyvek!

Martuzana comments (from the Coroflot website):

"Four sets of clothing which related to the cycles of nature, by codes of transition between seasons. Each season of transition involves changing: climate change, a change in motion, rhythm, sensations, smells and feelings. Each garment combines two seasons of the year, according to the characterization of each season, using a different modal component by means of repeated motifs, sizes, dosages and different arrangements of the "Tyvec" paper strips. Although the "Tyvec" paper is not torn, it can be cut, folded and heated. These are the techniques I used to create the textile surfaces."

(Note: of course, the correct spelling is "Tyvek".)

The Fall-Summer Tyvek dress design is particularly striking, where the Tyvek material has been cut to provide an airy look. The detailed shot shows the intricate work needed to create this look.



The Summer-Spring Tyvek dress design is also rather innovative.
