Minimal Dresses by Digna Kosse
Clothing is discarded more often as a result of shifts in fashion as opposed to wear and tear. Consequently, a lot of fabric and other materials are consumed by the clothing industry in large amounts. These minimal dresses by designer Digna Kosse show that even the smallest amount of thread can be used to create garments that make a huge statement without utilizing an excess of material.

Hmm, interesting, but as this dress looks like the front?:)
Fail
kidding right? If this isnt satire its lame. What statement is it making, that it is possible for someone to make something with so little substance that it cant be used for anything? That sounds like a waste to me…
I think minimal design is . This is not really minimal in that sense.
True, the wearer of this dress would be making a statement: I’m naked.
So out of touch with real people. Most of us don’t discard clothes just because of fashion. Of course, this is the same most of us that really does think clothes should cover your bits. Not to mention these things look like post apocalyptic whorewear.
If you think about how many people shop by the trend, then yes clothing does become easily discarded. I think you also have to see beyond the way the “clothing” is shot here. Obviously, you wouldn’t just wear that out without layering it on top of something. With that said, these pieces can add a cool dimension to a simple outfit. Now, all you have to worry about is snagging it on something.
