Master of Form - Loie Fuller

Loie fuller was the first of her kind. When she first performed for Paris society in the late 19th century she caused quite the sensation. Armed with a simple silk costume and cunning creativity she delighted crowds as her movement was mimicked by fabric and form. 


Graceful and truly mesmerizing she was a true pioneer and an inspiration for many. 


Enjoy! 





I posted a while back on artist James Nares - see the relation?


the McQueen Kate Moss hologram anyone?
