I Make Couture Dresses Out Of Recycled Materials

I’m the owner of Totally Trashed Fashion, a luxury couture designer of recycled and alternative materials.

Each dress is lovingly made with unusual textiles and techniques. Each dress takes between 30-100 hours to make.

    Good morning/afternoon/evening! First I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to check out my work! I create couture dresses out of alternative materials. I am from Spokane, Wa, and I'm 26. I have no formal training so a lot of my process is mixing polymers and sticking tissue paper to other paper.

    Thanks for the comments! A large part of that time is processing materials like braiding garbage bags and fusing plastics. :)

    What f..king prostitute is that? Less sexy. Sorry, colors imagination wrong direction, has to be really pervert ... sex on dump. Other vise good start, technique develop more, so that it doesn't look trash, how i express it .. imitation from real fabric needs more work. and more thrash is used, more is better. Clothes for mayday are'nt wearable, only one day of the year. Trashy is not sexy but abusive, for abusers. One good material what has lot and hard to recycle is videotape and record tapes. Video tape looks very good, it sparkles. Night club material, kinky. Good thought, hope some big fashion brand takes this seriously and take work or project to fashion house. They can help whit grater ideas, when they have workers to work more, use time whit material, couture.
