• Carta Couture

  Carta Couture is a visual arts project that combines art, fashion and craftmanship, conceived and directed by the photographer JERRY LEE INGRAM. The photographs portray a model, Isabella Vasen, dressed in replicas of iconic clothing items by stylists such as Valentino, Pierre Cardin or Dior, from the '50s to the '80s. The original clothes have been captured by legendary photographers such as Richard Avedon, Bert Stern and Giampaolo Barbieri, modelled by film stars and top models alike. Ingram has received the support of Blender studios to recreate the effect of the original fashion items using different kinds of paper and methods, studying the styling with the help of Allegra Montantelli. When it comes to clothing and accessory choices, the stylist Hylozoic took care of styling and organizing the shooting. In occasion of the famous stylist Alessandro Gaggio's exhibition, he's created an original fashion piece: a dress made of tissue paper.
