So Daisy Balloon aka Rie Hosokai picks balloons as her medium of choice and uses them in window displays and as art objects, to make sculptures out of them as well as use them for fashion statements. It’s dope how something like balloons can really be used for something as crazy as this and not just birthday parties. She takes numerous small balloons, gathers them into large groups that make up long flowing dresses, body suits, and structures reminiscent of armor. Her avant-garde designs are worn by models and celebrities like Bjork. Her entire portfolio is very impressive. After all keeping all of those balloons full is not easy. The colorful giant teddy bear that’s constructed completely out of smaller teddy bears is the right mix of visual ingenuity, nostalgia, and fun.
