Ripley's Believe It or Not recently held a "Trashy Fashion Show" in Florida, and a set of 12-year-olds stunned the show's attendees with "High Energy," a dress made entirely of coffee filters. Analise Barnard and Amani Grant are the young designers behind the dress, and Barnard even played runway model for the presentation.
Other winning designs included a cocktail dress made of newspapers and a knee-length frock that was made from used paint brushes and paper bags. This isn't the first time that we've seen food products incorporated into fashion; for more foodie-inspired couture, check out this Wedding Dress cake.
