Ah, Paris! The Moulin Rouge, Gare D’Orsay, Tour Eiffel… This stylish, pocketed maxi dress sports graphic sepia images of vintage Parisian postcards. The bodice has been formed from a man’s stretch cotton shirt with altered sleeves.
The dress measures 46″ around the bust, 19″ across the shoulders and is 53″ from shoulder to hem.
Liisa Carbone is a collage artist and designer living in Summerside PEI who loves to work with unconventional, upcycled, often disregarded materials.
As a lifelong collector of 'interesting objects' and the grateful recipient of jewellery and button collections from both sides of my family I felt it a shame to hide these wonderful items in a drawer or jewellery box. Combining broken jewellery, buttons, beads and other found objects on wire mesh I work to create images that spark the imagination, celebrate treasures of our inherited past and evoke unexpected connections.
I also create one-of-a-kind tops and dresses combining men’s shirts with thrifted fabric items. I firmly believe that life is too short to wear boring – or uncomfortable – clothes.
