Book excerpt: Fashion is an art constantly reinventing itself, as is beautifully shown in Norma Lu Meehan's dazzling paper doll book, "Cutting Edge Couture." From Dior's exquisite ball gowns to Iris Van Herpen's 3D printed dresses, the featured designers each reshaped the world of fashion in their own ways. Known for her exquisite rendering of historic fashion, it's exciting to see Norma Lu's extraordinary interpretation of contemporary couture. Famed fashion trend forecaster David Wolfe selected this 20-piece collection representing distinctive fashion themes: Folkloric, The Far East, Exotic Embellishments, Ball Gowns, Sensational Stripes, Linear Looks and Fabulous Frippery. Included is David Wolfe's essay on the evolution of couture, highlighting the designers represented in this book: John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Guo Pei and Iris van Herpen.
