Designer Adriana Bertini had fashion professionals envious of her latest creations until they discovered that they were made out of condoms.
A dress made entirely out of loom bands may have nearly sold for £170k but it’s this variety of rubber dresses that are taking over the catwalk.
At an international Aids conference in Melbourne Brazilian based artist Adriana Bertini launched her bizarre range of dresses made out of unused condoms (because used would just be weird, right).
This is by no means a new trend, the Condom Couture range has been spreading awareness of safe sex for a while now.
Her workshops help spread awareness by encouraging young people to get to grips with condoms in a creative environment.
Some of her designs have even made it as far as the catwalk to spread the message as safe sex and female empowerment have been central to her designs.
Not everybody is a fan though. One social networker posted: “On the one hand, I appreciate the creativity… on the other hand, it’s hard to remove the “wet” look all condoms seem to have and it’s a bit gross in most of those pics.” Another added: “I see them and think they are gorgeous and then I remember that they are made of condoms… Eww!”
Here is a gallery of her various designs
