Fashion and Newspaper?




I am really interested in fashion, especially individual styles and anything that strikes as being different and a bit edgy. I watched an episode for project runway the other day which was really interesting.  The show itself is hosted by Heidi Klum and involves various fashion designers competing with each other and taking part in different challenges to create a fashion garment that would stand out from the rest. After each challenge, one designer is eliminated. They have 24 hrs to create it, from the beginning process to the end. The winner of the challenge is then decided upon the judges. So, for this specific challenge the contestents were taken to the Los Angeles times factory, where all the newspapers were produced, and so their next task was out there in the open. They were asked to create a garment/fashion icon from newspapers! Watching the show, I noticed how many did not have a clue of what they were doing and they were just going with the flow to see what they would get out of their creation. However after some period of time, some of them seemed to get a stronger grip of what they were doing. Most of them created dresses out of the newspaper, but there was also one that created a coat, which was my ultimate favourite. When all the finished garments were put on the models to pose for, they looked really good. And it just surprises me how newspaper could be turned into something so nice. Above are some of the outfits the fashion designers created from newspapers. Outstanding...
