There’s nothing better than lots of colour splashes on your dress to put you in a good mood!

Fernando Brizio is a talented product designer from Portugal, responsible for some of the most creative recycled art and fashion.
Like this Felt-tip Pens Dress: by meticulously inserting coloured felt-tip pens, nib down, into a white dress fitted with little pockets, the ink is bleeds into the fabric in a sequence of splodges. The idea behind the dress is that the owner slips the pens into the pockets herself just before entering the party or whatever she’s attending and bursting into messy bloom. As you can see the felt tip pens are inserted in the small pockets of the dress. Within an hour – to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. The owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.
Watch this video by Fernando explaining how it’s done:
