Isabelle de Borchgrave’s paper costumes

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:01:30 +0000

Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave started giving drawing classes in the seventies. Following a visit to the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1994, Isabelle dreamed up paper costumes. Since then she worked on four big collections, all in paper and trompe l’œil, each of which set the scene for a very different world. “Papiers à la Mode” (Paper in Fashion), the first, takes a fresh look at 300 years of fashion history from Elizabeth I to Coco Chanel. “Mariano Fortuny” immerses us in the world of 19th century Venice. Plissés, veils and elegance are the watchwords of that history. “I Medici” leads us through the streets of Florence, were we come across famous figures in their ceremonial dress. As for the “Ballets Russes”, they pay tribute to Serge de Diaghilev, Pablo Picasso, Léon Bakst, Henri Matisse.

Although she also designs paper objects such as vases, miniatures and furnitures, it is her paper dresses, and more specifically her creations related to the history of costume, which have have been widely displayed. De Borchgrave has replicated quintessential examples in the history of costume—from Renaissance finery of the Medici family and gowns worn by Elizabeth I and Marie-Antoinette (“The livingroom of Marie-Antoinette” is on permanent display at the Palace of Versailles) to the creations of the grand couturiers Frederick Worth, Christian Dior, and Coco Chanel.

Working in collaboration with leading costume historians and young fashion designers, de Borchgrave crafts a world of splendor from the simplest rag paper. Painting and manipulating the paper, she forms trompe l’oeil masterpieces of elaborate dresses inspired by rich depictions in early European painting or by iconic costumes in museum collections. Today, Isabelle de Borchgrave has become a name that is readily associated with fashion and paper. After a 40-year career, she still exhibits her large folded paper works all over the world.
