The ethereal nature of fashion is perhaps never better expressed than something incredibly beautiful constructed with paper. Magda Malina, a Polish born, German educated, working in the Netherlands (dang talk about design savvy) has created these beautiful structural accessories out of paper/laser cutter and a staple gun. Holy moly.
"It's about patience and over and over. it's about staple guns. it's about chaos and structure. about irrationality and dreams. about illusions. about the fastness and changeability of all things.about loosing everything at the same time.it's about virtual personalities. it's about the power of appearances. about lightness and protection. it's about the worth of simplicity. about the richness of minimalism. it's about the endless beauty one moment can include."

Heh, perhaps I'm just slow on the uptake, but earlier this month Trés Plus Cool did a fantastic interview with her, check it out...
