{all images from Studio Koya}
Looking at these amazing images from Studio Koya's Nuue, also known as the Wrapped Garment Project, it's almost hard to believe that the intricate knit textures are man-made. I'm thinking magical spiders, from the fashion realm. Yup, magical spiders that spin perfect web-like textures into masterfully shaped garments. Okay, maybe there aren't any magical spiders involved, or for that matter, in existence.
Fittingly, the project was titled "Nuue" after the Korean word for "cocoon" and each of these fabulous frocks resemble an avant garde knit human cocoon. Artist Jungeun Lee wrapped fibers around forms and mannequins and then heated the threads with a special process to create 3D sculptural silhouettes.
Studio Koya elaborates, "Jungeun has been experimenting and researching unconventional methods of creating garments. Rethinking about the fundamental process of producing a garment has led her to the Nuue project."
