The Victoria and Albert Museums notable collection of fashionable dresses inspired the authors to compose their very own fashion hitory of life-size dresses in paper in which their devotion to fashion is immediately apprent and contagious. The artist's boundless enthusiasm for their subject is based upon a professional understanding of the decorative appeal of clothes and textiles and expertise in the cutting and construction of garments. These paper fantasies are perfect illustrations of how the past can inform the present and how works form museums can be re-interpreted in a magical way. A gorgeous collection!
