There are no limits to fashion! There are always plenty of ways to get creative and think outside of the box. The fashion industry revolves around creativity and requires a variety of new ideas and random splashes to keep the industry alive and exciting. A lot of individuals try to break into the fashion industry, making it highly competitive. On the bright side, the fashion industry is very accessible and often requires new individuals with a unique and different taste. For example, the picture above shows a dress created out of recycled newspapers! The dress is breath taking and indeed very fashion forward. It appears as a work of art and most definitely required creativity. This dress was created with thirty copies of the "Financial Times" by Gary Harvey and acted as one of the nine dresses in his first collection at the London fashion week at the Estethica exhibition. His collection "was a comment about thinking about the real cost of the garment that you buy, about that cost being natural resources, exploitation of labour, the biodegradable nature of garments." Harvey wanted to demonstrate the importance of secondhand clothing and how useful they can be. Many people deem a piece of clothing "unimportant" after wearing it for a few times and toss it away. Harvey's collection proves that theory wrong and highlights the fact that a piece of garment can be arranged in several different ways and still be useful. Harvey uses materials he finds in secondhand stores in his creations in order to prevent waste. Harvey is just an example of a creative fashion guru. Do not be afraid to think outside of the box!
