"Anatomy of the World", World Map
Today I came across the paper fashions of Elizabeth Lecourt, a French-born, London-based artist, who created a series of clothing pieces designed from maps called “Les Robes Geographiques”.
From them, I find myself wishing I had a topographical map dress from the Wasatch Mountains ….
Is there map clothing you would want created?

"Ideal City", Map of London

Map of New York

Map of San Francisco

"Relisses Roulees", Map of Paris

"Baa Baa Baa", Map of the World

"A La Pêche aux Moules", Geology Map of UK

"Cephalopod", Map of UK
See that is art–stretching the norm to fit a new medium.
i agree!
