French artist Elisabeth Lecourt found a much more elegant and stylish application for those huge geographic maps that hang on the walls in classrooms, offices and apartments. Using her imagination and creative imagination, she "sews" from them pretty dresses and shirts. Those who are afraid of getting lost will surely love this collection of outfits. " Les robes geographiques"To make dresses and shirts look attractive, Elizabeth uses the brightest and most colorful maps for her creativity. Therefore, among the maps of real cities and countries, there are also fictional, fantastic maps of the area, compiled for films, computer games, books, comics and other literary works.
In addition to fictional cities, the artist uses maps of London, Chelsea, Paris, New York and other metropolitan areas that will seem interesting to her for cutting and sewing her models. True, models of tight pleated dresses and classic shirts can seem boring, commonplace or even outdated. But the material from which the models are created, as well as the original geographic print, conceal these imaginary shortcomings of art objects.
Of course, you cannot wear geographic dresses from the Les Robes Geographiques collection. You need to admire them when visiting the artist's exhibitions, or in the gallery on her website.
