Zoe Bradley

Zoe Bradley discovered her love of paper whilst making a showpiece for the designer Michiko Koshino in 2005. A paper dress grew organically from hand-pleating large pieces of paper. Her works involve her folding, cutting and stitching paper. Zoe uses her skills as a fashion designer (she worked alongside Alexander McQueen on his 1999 show no. 13), using her tailoring skills to create intricate paper forms. Zoe draws inspiration from the nature that surrounds her rural home as well as the vibrancy of theatre, couture and architecture.
