There is no limit to a designer’s imagination. Witness the 10 weird dresses of all time which take fashion to all new heights.
Money Dress
The Money Dress, modelled here by a UK television news personality, is entirely made up of pound sterling notes. The dress was prepared for the promotion of a lottery fund in the UK. The value of the dress is estimated to be $100,000.
Sponge Dress
The sponge dress is entirely made of regular kitchen sponges. It is designed by freelance costume designer Kate Cusack.
Birdcage Dress
The strange and multi-purpose Birdcage dress is the creation of Southern Californian designer Kasey McMahon. The birdcage is fully functional with caged-in canaries.
Emotion Sensitive Dress (Bubelle Dress)
The Bubelle Dress is the world’s first emotion sensitive dress which changes colour to show the person’s mood. Designed and created by the electronic giant Philips, the Bubelle contains biometric sensors that picks up the person’s emotions and flaunts them by changing colour of the outer fabric.
Human Hair Dress
This weird dress, modelled here by Nina Arkley, make it to our list by the strange fact that it is entirely made up of human hair. Created by hairdresser Jodie Breed, the hair come from donations made by her clients and hair extensions. The dress was made to compete in the Environment Friendly round of the Miss England contest.
Intimacy Dress
Now here’s a dress tailor-made for flirting. The Intimacy 2.0 dress stands out by the strange fact that it becomes transparent as someone closes in. It is designed by Studio Roosegaarde, a design firm in Netherlands. The Intimacy Dress tracks the wearer’s heart beat and becomes transparent as the heart beat races.
Tent Dress
The totally bizarre Tent Dress is the creation of artists Adrienne Pao and Robin Lasser. The ‘Wearable Architecture’ as the artists like to call it, is intended for outdoors and is meant to be a whimsical portrayal of its setting.
Chocolate Dress
Pictured here, the German model Alena Gerber sure looks good to eat. But I would definitely want to eat her dress as it is made entirely of chocolate. This is probably the best of edible wardrobe.
Flower and Leaf Dress
Eco Artist Nicole Dextras takes flowery fashion to new heights with this strange yet beautiful, nature-inspired, flower and leaf dress.
Balloon Dress
Balloons have always been associated with kids but they sure make a great resource for fashion designers. The Balloon dresses really are a treat for the eye. Made with colourful twisted balloons, these dresses sure are amazing but only until the model try not to sit ;).
