I am showing each dress with two images, one in full long shot, the other a detail so you can see the extraordinary amount of work and detail that goes into Marit’s work. Finding beauty in the mundane, the collection Wound is an observation on abandoned objects found around the city. Deformed by elements, books and magazines no longer carry its function becoming accidental sculptures, merging colour and forms. Then transforming them into wearable sculptures, beautiful and soulful, these pieces are for women who understand the sacredness in imperfection, and who celebrate it. My kind of girl, for sure, A Marit Fugiwara piece is number one on my fashion bucket list, Marit, please let us know when your work is available to us…..
Marit currently lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Marit Fujiwara’s art is exquisite. It is delicate, intricate, handmade, visually appealing, and it is wearable. This incredibly original designer comes from a mixed heritage of Brazilian, Norwegian and Japanese cultures; she moved to London age 19, where she lived and worked for the last ten years before recently returning to Brazil. In the UK, she took several courses in art and design before graduating from the University of the Arts London in textile design. Her passion in exploring different areas in textiles lead her to specialize in constructive textiles. Drawing upon her illustrations, she creates intriguing pieces pushing the boundaries between art, craft and design. Her experimental attitude towards the use of materials lead her to develop new techniques as well as modernizing traditional ones. Her detail work is impeccable and time consuming, demanding talent, originality and aesthetic; certainly it is not so easy to master even the concept of one of these amazing pieces.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
