Many of us were taught it\u2019s impolite to stare at people, especially those who are \u2018different.\u2019 But you won\u2019t be able to stop yourself when you see the people Daisy Collingridge creates. No worries, though. That\u2019s exactly the kind of attention she is seeking. <\/p>\n
Daisy\u2019s collection of \u2018Squishy People\u2019 celebrates loose and flabby body parts through incredibly intricate costumes. Each costume features layer upon layer of jersey fabric \u2018blobs,\u2019 many of which are strategically weighted with plastic pellets. When worn by models who dance and strut about, it\u2019s performance art the likes of which you\u2019ve never seen.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
In this article, we learn how Burt, Daisy\u2019s latest creation, came to life. It\u2019s not only a fascinating behind-the-scenes view of Daisy\u2019s techniques, but it\u2019s also a peek into her whimsical thought process and candid joy in what she creates. <\/p>\n
