Very inspiring project in the latest issue of Dazed & Confused, where the publication invited a select group of fashion designers to interpret the idea of using throwaway materials in the spirit of Mary Shelley's creation of Frankenstein - "stitching together the old to breathe life into the new"

The masks look great! I can't help thinking of the famous Margitte painting when looking at the Chalayan interpretation. I will post an image as reference....

Oddly enough I am very attracted to the Roberto Cavalli piece. There's something effortless and alive about it that fits right in with the project brief.
