Soundsuit, Nick Cave, 2010
Over the past decade, Cave, an Alvin Ailey-trained dancer who heads the graduate fashion program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has made hundreds of "Soundsuits" — brilliant wearable art. Often produced from found or cast-off materials — his first was built out of twigs collected in a Chicago park — each makes its own joyful noise when the wearer moves — or better dances — around. This one is constructed out of knitted and crocheted fabric and various metal and wood toys.
