Vancouver, BC – The Brown Paper Couture Project, a showcase of creative talents by first-year Langara College Design Formation students, is now on display at one of Vancouver’s most stylish shopping centres.
Inspired by international designers, the Brown Paper Couture Project is an extraordinary collection of hand-crafted paper sculptures emulating creative couture fashion.
Students select iconic couture dresses and recreate them using a selection of modest materials including brown paper, cardboard, spray adhesive, paint, various tapes, coffee filters, tissue paper, thumb tacks, glue guns, pins, string, and twine.
“Once again, our students have blown us away with their creations,” said Instructor, Kevin Smith. “This is an exercise of observation, research, technique, exploring materials and methods, as well as a high degree of craftsmanship and project management,” said Smith.
This cornerstone project of Design Formation’s Retail Visual Presentation course teaches students prop building techniques, aesthetics, and creative problem-solving through design process.
