Gab Bois Saltine Sweater Vest
Comfort food + comfort dressing? Sign me the fuck up! For you see, spring has not yet sprung. So, excuse me while I continue to embrace coziness in all its forms.
Now here’s something to sink our teeth into—this snackable sweater vest by the brilliant Montreal-based conceptual artist Gab Bois.
It’s food for thought, of course. But Bois’ work brings together elements of nostalgia, humor and kitsch in the most uplifting way.
See: Her vastly-shared Valentine’s Day treat boxes filled with everything from green veggies to fast food fare.
And while fashion brands both emerging and established ramp up experimentation in textile creation—cactus and mushroom leathers, for example, are being banked on big time—Bois’ work demonstrates that the perimeters of what’s perceived as plausible fabrications could be much further flung.
To wit, in this day and age of upcycling and material exploration, who says a piece of pasta can’t do double duty as fabric?
You have to see it to believe it after the jump!
