Paper dresses haven't really made a comeback since the '60s, but next week, a ballgown made from newspaper by British designer Gary Harvey will appear as part of Estetica, an eco fashion show at London Fashion Week.
The voluminous creation makes use of over 30 copies of the Financial Times, attached to a salmon-pink corset.

Vogue tells us this will be just one of many designs to be shown at Estetica; a show that aims to bring attention to the importance of Fair Trade, organic production and recycling and we'll be keeping an eye out for more details on what sounds like an absolutely ripping show...
Hello, im 15 years old and go to Middleton Technology School, Middleton, Manchester. Part of my GCSE coursework in Art is to make something out of recycled products. I am going to make a dolls house from recycled things in my house which I would usually throw away. Please could you give me some ideas on what I could use for my dolls house or any other thing which I could make from recycled products.
Thank-You =]
