Party Dress London

I remember when I was fourteen years old and in junior high school I used to say to me fiends in a stupid, boyish way, “This weekend, there’ll be a party in my pants!. Of course, I didn’t literally mean there will be an actual party, with guests, and drinks, and snacks… in my pants. All my friends couldn’t fit in my pants.

So, I was shocked to got a press release today about a party in London, called Party Dress, that is an actual party within a dress. Well, five dresses to be exact. It’s an event coinciding with the London Festival of Architecture, and it’s shaping up to be a not-to-miss event:

Designed by two sisters, Karla and Dana Karwas, Party Dress functions as a pavilion worn exclusively by five women that seamlessly injects architecture into fashion by using the body as space. Step inside the dress, taste a sweet cupcake, and enjoy an evening of electro-acoustic music from Paris.

The dress begins as a shared, bustled garment that gradually unfolds to create a temporary, inhabitable structure. Each seam, each dress, and each body are interconnected by a single, amorphous surface of flowing material. Illuminated from within, the dress will lure the curious passerby inside to listen and be enchanted by the magical world beneath the fabric.

    This just reminds me of the red dress by com-pa-ny in Helsinki.. but unfortunately not as beautiful. The ideas that com-pa-ny have about clothing and the human body as a space are interesting.. http://www.com-pa-ny.com
