Zombie Boy

I was just researching further on the internet about the body and veins as I feel this would be quite an interesting way to make a garment that is actually the veins of a body.  I came across this insane guy known as ‘zombie boy’ who has had his whole body tattooed like a skeleton even his head has a brain on it. He has become a household name in the fashion industry as no one has seen anything quite like him. He appeared in this fashion show by MUGLER called ‘anatomy of change’.  He is filmed with just a simple piece of black chiffon fabric blowing over his body and it looks so amazing just seeing elements of his skeleton figure.



Here is a video of the same guy ‘zombie boy’ being used for a foundation advert. He is covered with foundation and reveals parts of his self. Taking a layer of skin away to reveal his skeleton (his real skin) I prefer the vein idea in my previous post with the jacket but the story about this guy is so fascinating. Made me think of every garment could be a layer of something and slowly reveal the last layer as your body as if the body was slowly decomposing through each piece of clothing.Slowely but beautifully.
