About Mrs. Flamingo

Papier Couture

January 18th, 2008 @ 3:00 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

I heart anything paper so I can’t get more excited when I find something I absolutely need to share with everyone.

When I was a little girl, I created paper dresses with my younger sister. It was a fun pastime and something I always loved. As time passed, obviously less of that was happening… even though I sometimes wished we could still make paper dresses. So whenever I go to bridal parties, I’m the first in line when the toilet paper dress competition presents itself (and I always win :)).

When I came across the Papier Couture website… I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of envy.

These creations are the baby of Lia Griffith, a graphic designer and art director. Papier Couture is a beautiful collaboration of fashion and art, utilizing a mixture of papers, patterns and typography to create dresses. These dresses are any paper lover’s dream. They are simply stunning… the craftmanship is over the top.

I would honestly wear them. Where can I get one??? ;) It would be so awesome to get married in one of these… but you just have to make sure that it doesn’t rain. These dresses give a whole new twist to the eco-friendly wedding. 

Am I the only one so nuts about paper?

Thanks to Housemartin for the link!
