Nikki Nye and Amy Flury: Papper-Cut-Project

The bio from their website:
Nikki Nye and Amy Flurry co-founded Paper-Cut-Project in 2009 a collaboration based on the transformation of simple sheets of paper into dramatic silhouettes. The Atlanta-based duo forged a unique linkage of fine art and fashion that has garnered commissions by several of the world’s top fashion houses and galleries including, Hermès, Cartier, Kate Spade and Valentino. At home on the theatre of runway, in site-specific installations and editorial, the paper sculptures work across many disciplines, including their recent collaboration with the Victoria & Albert museum, a 16-piece collection of paper wigs for their “Hollywood Costume” exhibit. Their work has been featured in the New York Times, Selvedge, Numero, and Italian Vogue.
