Replay Fedora’ best works
Replay Fedora contest, winner
Name: Superfedor
The concept is based on a sculptural and architect volume received by the adding of different details and elements close by its style, form, lines and silhouette to the original Fedora concept. The additional elements are stringed on a wire like on a central axis and all the action and story play over it. Exactly this idea gives the opportunity to receive completely another art object that is different from the original one by its form and content.
