Fashionable Tupperware?
>From “Cool Green Stuff” and Treehugger, comes Liana Kabel…in true fashion, just as recycled tupperware that’s all. Made with tupperware lids and 2000 jumprings, Liana says she was more concerned with it looking good on display than wearing it…i.e., “don’t sit down in it and definitely wear a slip.”
I thought I’d compare this to Marko’s post on Paco Rabanne just to show you how things can, uh, evolve. So, maybe you just make it shorter, and yes, wear the slip, or make with a sheath, and voila! it’s wearable fashion.
Keep it comin’, Liana.

Nice juxtaposition. And that’s basically a great point. How about a creating a new use for materials.
P.S: Prada - even though it’s all perfectly fine as fabric, cut, etc., is concerned. Design wise and mentality wise it’s more than old news. This kind of take on men’s wear has been done in fashion numerous times. Gaultier et al.
I’m going to be focusing alot on that aspect… creating new uses for materials.
And re Prada, I don’t see much merit in it, period. But it must have been difficult for her to go the route of big…like the others, mostly, except Raf of course. Big is not Prada’s style, but in general to me, it was a bit gimmicky for her. I am going to be writing about a company who is creating their own brand of authentic, hopefully to post tomorrow, no gimmicks, only breakthroughs and I am not sure if they even make the runways, but they sure are making headway. Stay tuned….
Chack out Lagerfeld’s take on silicone in a previous Fendi collection! Very interesting!
