Lamp-girls

This might be a perfect example of how you can make art, fashion- and product design walk hand in hand! Marianne Maric, a French photographer/ stylist/ designer have taken a lampshade, transformed it into a dress and created “Lamp-girls”! See more pictures and read her interview at http://kostasvoyatzis.wordpress.com/

this is what she says in an interwiv withYatzer:
These “lamp-girls” were first conceived as an illustration of the woman as a thing conveyed by the “entertainment world,” but gradually ascending to a state of consciousness. These photographs were part of a broader vision: once the costume was finished, the “living” model put it on and took place on a white rotating base into a dark room. The public had the choice to turn on or off the lamp, the dress, the girl, the room. I wanted to “immortalize” this moment when a woman become a simple household appliance. That is how these photographs were born.
