Friday Favorite: Elisabeth Lecourt

9/16/2011

This Friday’s Feature artist is Elisabeth Lecourt!

I love her pleated parochial map dresses!

Elisabeth Lecourt was born in France in 1972, and lives and works in London.
She earned her Masters of Art at the Royal College of Art in London in 2001.
Lecourt exhibits internationally.

Her work includes a delightful line of map-wear!
She folds and cuts individual maps by region to produce clothes not to be worn but rather hung, mostly pleated parochial dresses and button-down shirts made out of modern maps.

To find out more about Elisabeth Lecourt, visit her website!
TGIF!
