Fernando Brizio's work was great, and very different from any artist's work I've seen because his designs mean something to him, and are very personal so it is as though you are stepping right into his life and looking around all the different ideas in his head.

This is a pretty cool idea for a recyclable dress from designer Fernando Brizio. You just add coloured felt-pens into the pockets of the dress, and then the inks bleed into the cloth creating circular patterns. Then when you buy new shoes or just fancy a change you can wash it and all the ink will disappear , ready for another set of pens to absorb in. It kind of reminds me of the ink calendar I posted a while ago. Super cool.

These are Fernando Brízio's renewable clothing. I think this is cool - not so much for dresses, but something else - curtains maybe. The idea is that the dress is constructed with pockets into which washable felt tip makers are placed, the markers bleed and create a pattern on the dress, and then it is washed and the process starts over again - not sure how renewable that is, but it's cool. If you google him you will find that her works a lot with bleeding ink. Photo from designboom.

Fernando Brizio's got the right idea. Simple. Lo-tech. But amazing.  Just stick felt tip pens in tiny little pockets and let the colour do the rest. Let it spread. And create interesting shapes. Then wear your amazing new dress until you're sick of it. Then you can just wash it and do it all over again.
