Anne Brenneke

Anne Brenneke “Life After Death” permalink

Hamburg fashion student Anne Brenneke’s graduate collection isn’t another range of T-shirt dresses or drop-crotch pants. Rather, Brenneke spent 18-months using recycled materials to handcraft quilted homages to deceased rap stars such as Biggie Smalls, Easy-E and Big L. The results are stunningly beautiful and original, and on display through December 3 at Kuntsklub. (Via What’s Wrong With the Zoo.)
