More paper dresses

If you’ve watched prime time television in the last few years, it’s more than likely you’ve already seen dresses like these, you maybe just didn’t think about what you were really seeing. I know I just presumed that when the actress tore a piece of fabric off her “cashmere” dress that it was a trick – that no dress could actually be made from bathroom tissue. Think again.

Eight prominent Canadian designers each contributed a dress made almost exclusively from good old toilet paper to the Fifth Annual White Cashmere Collection 2008: A Touch of Pink fashion show in Toronto last September. As we near the annual event, Farley Chatto, a Toronto designer has already submitted his final dress for 2009.

While they aren’t wedding-inspired, it’s hard not to see the potential of some of these incredible creations for marching, rather than strutting, down another aisle… what’s your favourite?
