Cool Map Couture






 I'm a huge fan of maps. Somehow, i find them so inspiring - for their sheer scientific beauty, that evokes images of far away places and mystical journeys. Love the idea to use maps as a pattern for dresses. These are artworks, by Elisabeth Lecourt, who lives and works in Lomdon. But i could see similar ones ready to wear as well. A little blouse like this would really appeal to me - what do you think?

    okay so you asked what we think :) I think YOU could totally pull off a little cute map blouse! But me?! I would be a globe! It would be bad Martina...very scary & bad :) I don't even want to imagine it :)

    But seriously I do love maps! As a little girl I would be the one to navigate when my mom took us on trips to visit other states. I thought I was pretty smart :)

    Enjoyed Your map love!
