Spotted: Louis Claparols‘ Lady Gaga-esque Barbies. I so see the eccentric popstar wearing those…are they asymmetric bunny ears?
Louis has always done amazing beadwork, I still remember the fashion editorial styled by Leica Carpo that featured the beaded denims that launched his career as a designer. (Imagine an ornately embroidered and embellished peacock on a pant leg.)
“The inspiration comes from sci-fi films of the 50′s and 60′s, like ZsaZsa Gabor‘s “Queen of Outer Space,” he explains. He painstakingly meticulously hand-beaded these pearls and sequins on organza, which he shredded to achieve, as he says, “the furry effect.”
Personally, I see a pop star like Beyonce totally rocking this look. (Sarah G, your next concert, maybe?) My only question is, would a life-size version be heavy?
Loving the sparkle, Louis!
A designer wardrobe for Barbie, how wickedly decadent! I can hear the rich little girls already, “Daddy, I want that one!”
