taking out the trash

So ever think to make something cool out of something completely unexpected? I think this idea has been adopted by people with a more forward way of thinking about fashion. One aspect of "wearable art" is the fact that art can be made out of anything. So if we take this into consideration, fashion too can be made out of anything.

The concept of "taking out the trash is a play on words," its making a nice dress that you can wear for a night on the town out of trash bags. Now this might sound like an outfit for your typical ABC party but this is in fact taking material other than fabric to another level. If  you posses a little imagination and maybe some duct tape in order to avoid some fashion mishaps, making an outfit out of anything is possible. Wearing these also takes some guts.

Now although this seems like something that Lady Gaga or even Nicki Minaj, both of who are all to famous for there out-worldly fashion choices. There are some great high fashion creations out of trash bags that I wouldn't be afraid of wearing. These photos also glamorize something that seemingly has no fashion potential. 

...and if it's and consolation, celebrities on the red carpet whose fashion we can relate to and admire are also taking on this idea even though you could make these yourself for a fraction of the cost if you really want to.

I like how you can create volume and texture all with one material. It's shows the versatility of a trash bag!

Recycled fashion is a new idea to go with our times attempt with going green. Even though I wouldn't recommend dumping out the trash to use the bag to make an outfit for your next date, if  your daring enough, try out these options:

and when you're done ,remember to toss your old dress into the recycle bin instead of the trash. Theres no reason why you can save the planet at the same time your saving a bit of cash.

Coco Chanel once said  "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."  I guess this day and age you can find it in trash bags too.
