NEW CLOTHING STYLE

A girl that I knew at school was a fashion design major.  I had known her for all four years of college, but never really found out about it until we were seniors.  She was dating one of my friend’s roommates, and she was showing him her current project when I was over one day.  The project that she had been assigned was to design clothing with uncommon threads.  It was really pretty interesting.  One of the dresses she had made was made entirely of bar napkins.  She even scribbled things like phone numbers and song lyrics on them to make them seem authentic.  I thought that was so clever.  Another top she made was entirely from the plastic things that hold 6-packs together, which people are always cutting so animals do not get caught in them.  I told her that they kind of reminded me of the movie Zoolander, when Will Ferrell’s character Mugatu designs a whole clothing line out of garbage, and names it Derelict.  I was glad she had seen the movie, because otherwise she might be offended by my telling her that her clothes that she had made reminded me of the garbage clothing in a movie.
