What do Lady Gaga and the High Museum of Art have in common?
Drawing inspiration from art, science and technology, this celebrated fashion designer creates bold, futuristic clothes that feel more like sculpture than the mundane cotton and wool shells adorning our own bodies. She’s used materials as unexpected as silicone, the PET plastic used in water bottles, hand-blown glass, iron filings, polyurethane resin, the Dragon Skin that Hollywood uses for special effects and even the ribs of children’s umbrellas in her designs.
