Wire Couture Collection é tal como o nome indica uma colecção de “alta costura” toda ela feita em pequenas miniaturas de arame — cada peça da colecção é única e tem a sua própria personalidade e nome a condizer. O resultado como podem ver em cima é bem interessante e original. Esta mistura de Moda e Arte é uma criação de Leigh Pennebaker.

“…Leigh Pennebaker uses fashion to explore her fascination with women and beauty. “I view my work as three-dimesional caricature through which I channel the spirits of southern belles, divas, vixens, and ingenues.” The dress sculptures explore the female form, spirit and gesture without representing actual body parts. Pennebaker uses jagged metal fencing and rebar tie-wire to construct the dresses. These mediums evoke an intriguing contrast with the subject matter. The sharp linear quality of the wire creates an expression of form which is both elegant and raw, whimsical yet edgy.”
