Artist’s Book/Zine: What Would Fictional Icons Wear on Today’s Red Carpet? 

The unstable psyche and poverty of Rodion Raskolnikov (the main character in Crime and Punishment) fit the principles of Maison Margiela—breaking from the usual proportions, using a mixture of genres, and making clothes from secondary materials. Martin Margiela often chooses non-professional models, which connects with one of Dostoevsky’s favorite themes of the "little man”.

 Alexander McQueen, as a symbol of love for the shocking and provocative, is a good choice for the rule-breaking Anna Karenina.

 Jane Eyre was never about flashy clothes, so a frock from Stella McCartney highlights her inner beauty.

 

Created and handmade by Dasha Ziborova. Riso printed, first edition of 60. 36 pages, 2 insert pages, 4 colors, 5.25” x 8.25”

This book is hand-printed and assembled by the artist. It is printed on Risograph at Broken English Press in New York City.  Risograph prints one color at a time and destroys matrix after use, which makes editions limited, and each print is unique and slightly different. The result and technic remind of silk-screening process.
