Outfits from a New Era

My friend/partner in crime of Molykulte and I are participating in a exhibition call O.N.E Objets Non Enfouis :: Outfits from a New Era. This event is all about making a dress with recycled material and is the second edition after a break of three years. We participated in 2007 and the challenge was to make a dress with shotgun shells. In our design we used up somewhere near 1450 shells and trust me it is a very hard material to work with. It took us a nearly a good two weeks non-stop to finally create something that a model can wear and walk on the runway with.

In early July of this year we received a call from K - the girl who was in charge of  the formentioned project- she mentioned that she was redoing the event with new designers and she decided to choose four dresses from the last 2007 show for the new show; and guess what...? we were chosen. What that meant for us was that we had to dust off and re-work the dress that happend to be stuck in a box for quite some time.

So now the dress needs to be ready for October 10th  and for some reason we have only started to work on it last night... I just got back from my workshop and I worked 3 hours on it, can you see any difference?

We plan to work on it more this Friday night inbetween Pop Montreal events. Hopefully we will make the `target`date and look good.
