The Cinderella of the eco couture world is arguably self proclaimed alchemist and design dynamo Ryan Jude Novelline. His inspired eco couture designs have been nothing short of jaw-dropping.

The paper skirt is comprised entirely of the original book illustrations sewn together with metallic gold thread, and the bodice is made from the books’ foil spines backed by tape adhesive. Ryan's challenges, "Can the stories of our past become part of a sustainable future?"


The Q. Victoria Dress is embellished with 100 royal, gold-backed topaz and aquamarine Swarovski crystals. His vision is to tell a story of the prosperous Victorian era of Great Britain under the reign of Queen Victoria with the darker underlying tale of the Queen’s tragic personal life, depression, and assassination attempts.

Pure Imagination

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Trav'ling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world, there's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
