In recent years, people have shown considerable interest in environmental protection. Canadian artist and designer Elena Gregusova is one of those activists who act not only in words, but also in deeds prove their concern. Her fashion collection, Wear the News, is an ingenious way to connect an artistic project with environmental concerns and convey a message to today's people on the planet about the importance of protecting nature and the environment for future generations.
Elena Gregusova is used to surprising the audience with something unusual and unique. One of her latest projects, Let's Dress the News, is an example of what can be done with the most common material and how things that no one need can be turned into works of art. At the same time, the designer wanted to show and prove that a newspaper, after being read, in creative and skillful hands, can become a carrier of a certain idea and an object of admiration of the public, like a statue.
Elena Gregusova's fashion collection "Let's Dress the News" was created exclusively from the newspapers themselves, which the artist collected all over the world. Different typographic fonts, different paper qualities, colors and colors give paper sculptures an even more original look. To create one newspaper outfit, you had to work for a very long time, doing everything by hand. Some of the sculptures are made from 100,000 small pieces joined together.
In the fashion collection “Let's Dress the News” by Elena Gregusova there are about 30 unique sculptures from newspapers, which are dressed as live models and photographed by Martin Gregus, the designer's husband.
