Give the students from the Design Formation program at Langara College some craft paper, twine, coffee filters, packing tape and a few thumb tacks and watch them very closely — you have to see the results to believe them.
Within three weeks these students created exquisite gowns and dresses too delicate to wear but too beautiful not to display.
The impressive works of art are now, for the first time, on display in Oakridge Centre’s East Galleria until April 6.
The exhibit features 15 hand-crafted paper dresses emulating designs from Alexander McQueen, Dior and vintage Balenciaga.
