Eeeks! A collection made from waste

Last updated on: March 03, 2017 09:37 IST

It's the kind of collection we would keep our hands off!

At the recently concluded Milan Fashion Week, the audience was in a surprise as models presented creations from the Moschino's Autumn/Winter 2017 women's collection.

The designer, Jeremy Scott named the collection 'cardboard couture', and shocked everyone with a bubble wrap dress and a tissue box for a headgear, among other outfits.

The collection was inspired by a wealthy fashionista who suddenly goes broke and decides to make the best use of what she has in her home. The result is this collection!

Presenting 14 looks from the collection that encourages recycled fashion.
