- PAPER ILLUSIONS -
*
Artist and designer Isabelle de Borchgrave
creates unique and exquisite paper dresses evoking high fashions
from the courts of the Medici to the legendary Fortuny silks of the early 20th century.
She cuts, folds, glues, and paints her paper costumes and objects with imagination
and exceptional mastery, creating the illusion of lace from Bruges,
Renaissance-era brocade, and delicate silk a la Pompadour.
The book Paper Illusions by Barbara and René Stoeltie
does the full justice to de Borchgrave's magical workshop,
where humble art materials are transformed into shimmering
visions of beautiful clothing and luxurious living.
