Surely many people remember how paper or cardboard dolls with paper outfits for them were printed in children's magazines, and later in special issues of magazines for girls. All this had to be cut from the page, and then bought a wardrobe for the dolls in kiosks with newspapers and magazines, or else draw fashionable outfits on their own. Italian painter Christian Tagliavini I grew up from this age for a long time, but the passion for paper outfits remained. True, now he dresses up living people in them, and all this is called an art project Dame di cartone … In the wardrobe of the models of this art project, you cannot find outfits for club parties or beach sundresses, tracksuits or cocktail dresses. Here are models in retro style, for which Renaissance costumes were created from cardboard. This is no longer just a game, says Christian Tagliavini. It was a fancy-dress, theatrical performance, in which he is a man-orchestra, uniting an author, stage director, photographer, and, of course, a costume designer.
Cardboard dresses of his models look like tantamareski (a photo stand or a full-length figure with a special cut-out for the face, arms and legs), and they really cannot be worn. Just try on and imagine yourself in the image of a secular lady of ancient times. And despite the absolute uselessness in everyday life, the Dame Di Cartone art project is widely popular among fans of creative art.
