Lilly Heine produced a ground breaking affair with her Autumn/Winter 2010 line, created for her graduate collection at Central Saint Martins. By using a laser to cut her fabric, Heine then layered and handstitched together all of these pieces to create sculptural and dynamic shapes that were then formed to the females body. This process was extremely labor intensive and my be thought of as somewhat modern couture. Shortly after this collection was released she then collaborated with TopShop, who sold key pieces from the collection. View the pieces here:

Here is her concept for the line:
I was looking at Picasso’s studies of curvaceous women and his sculptures and at the same time started using fabric to create volume. Once I put these shapes onto the body, it was like sculpting on a person. When the models walked around in the garments, the different layers started to move and looked like sculptures in motion.
