The Untitled 2,500Ibs of Plastic Folds @ the Lever House



The Lever House has a history for setting a blank canvas for sculptures. I personally felt the previous sculptures were completely out of place. Finally they have chosen something more much legit. This piece by Tara Donovan is pretty amazing! It's an untitled piece consisting of 2,500 pounds of plastic sheeting folded into a white box with a glassed covering on the front and back.

The more I examine it...the piece looks like lasagna folds.
But overall this is pretty cool.

Caroline Seikaly | The Fairytale

On the David Letterman show on July 6, 2009, Hayden Panettiere wore this airy black lace dress from Caroline Seikaly's 2010 Resort Collection. This dress is extremely delicate and fragile yet the craft is impeccable.

The images below, however, are not from that specific collection but are from her recent gown collection which is equally fragile and definitely timeless. It's amazing, seamstresses use such nimble hands to create something like this.
