Marie aka "Just Marie" - Arizona - Balloon Fashions - The Ultimate in Ephemeral Art!
Balloon couture is not a new art. It marries the tactile with the aesthetic. As with the culinary arts, balloon art is sadly ephemeral. These often painstaking pieces can take 20 or more hours to complete and last only as long. Like a delicate flower, they slowly wilt. But the memory of their beauty is enduring.
Dress designs can range from truly elegant and classic period costumes to the most daring and sexy club couture. Innovative designers from all over the world have been creating balloon dresses and fashions for industry runway shows for years. Only in the past few years have balloon fashion artists begun to delve into the mainstream art world.
As one of the industry's most influential designers, Marie's work has appeared on television and magazine covers. She showcased her designs in the first US held Balloon Couture Fashion Show in Las Vegas, NV in August, '08. She will also present a piece at The Millennium Jam Fashion Event in Mol, Belgium in November, '08.
Let our imaginations be your guide.
