Fashion Students at the University for the Creative Arts at Epsom have designed a series of eye-catching dresses made entirely of paper.

Entry year students on the BA (Hons) Fashion Design course were asked to design a piece that would stop passers-by in their tracks.

The pieces have been designed using various forms of paper, including tracing paper, books, postcards, carbon copy paper and train tickets and are on display at the university in Ashley Road throughout February.

Foundation year co-ordinator, Ezinma Mbonu, said: "The project provides an insight into viewing fashion design as a problem-solving exercise and stresses the importance of research, editing and production elements in the creation of the final piece."
