This is an artist's book I made for a class dedicated to the legendary punk fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. I've found different fabric swatches (which the designer tend to use in her collection) and collaged them onto a piece of acid washed denim for the covers. Metal hardwares such as safety pins and studs are also added to go with the whole punk rock theme. The book was then put together with coptic stitch with varigated embroidery thread.
