Dorothy Bulac

1983 FIDM graduate Dorothy Bulac has successfully crossed over from the apparel industry to the art world.

Using her fashion design expertise, Dorothy created artistic statements using female imagery and symbolism. She was one of a selected few artists featured in the Cambridge Artists Cooperative (Massachusetts) in a show entitled Images of Women In Craft.

Dorothy views corsets not as restrictive lingerie of the late nineteenth century but as a twentieth century art form. She states, "I can't think of a better symbol than the corset. It's been our prison/armor for centuries. To give a new twist, I designed them in recyclable materials. And as fashion celebrates change, I also made them representative of the seasons. I'll never look at trash the same way again!"
