THE CONDOM DRESS
The XVI International Aids Conference has just wrapped up in Toronto and
a visual highlight for delegates were ten of Adriana Bertini’s condom
dresses. The Brazilian artist started creating fashions out of condoms
to highlight the need to look at the prophylactics as basics, so that we
would don them as easily as a pair of jeans. Some of her dresses use
thousands of condoms; one wedding dress took almost 80,000 (and to
think, some people hesitate over using just one!). The condoms that
Bertini uses are either defective or past their best by date.
DUMMY SUIT
Look what we have here, designers get weirder by the day; meet trends
that will –hopefully– never leave the catwalk. the girl wears a dummy
and applauses the audience in Dubai Fashion Week 2009.

Not really aware of what she is wearing, the dress created havoc on the fashion floor this January.

his quirkly approach to silhouttes and embellishments. This was seen on
Browne’s final runway piece for his 2009 summer show.

HUNTERS AND THE HUNTED
There’s something romantic about the country, especially when fashion
designers show their interpretations of what you’re supposed to wear.
However, we’re not even sure Elmer Fudd would be interested in this
get-up by Carolina Herrera.
CHAINSAW TULLE COUTURE
This wacky trend was shown at the Viktor and Rolf Spring 2010
Collection. Dresses made of tulle with sections hacked out by a
chainsaw! Of course Katy Perry is the only one who would wear such a
dress to an awards show.
