It's always interesting to see new techniques used in the fashion industry, and that's partly why I am fascinated with Alina Ene's dress designs. Employing the use of light painting to each frock, she has put together a rather electric collection that will surely catch more than just my attention.
Collaborating with Romanian photographer Dan-Andrei Paraschiv, the Romania-based fashion designer Alina Ene's dresses features his long exposure and light painting images. Even more interesting and unique, some patterns are only discernible under UV lighting.
By combining graphics, technology and classic yet futuristic fashions into one original package, Alina Ene is one budding designer to keep your eyes on. Enjoy the gallery in the meantime. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with Alina Ene's work.
