All of the dresses are made from a variety of recyclable white or brown paper, tissue, tapes, glue, spray paint, adhesives, paper twine, coffee filters, cardboard, string, thumbtacks and other raw materials, and are inspired by famous designers like Versace, Alexander McQueen, Paolo Sebastian, Dior, Gucci, Zhang Zhifeng for Ne Tiger and the late Karl Lagerfeld with Chanel.

Insider’s tip: watch for a recreation of the infamous “Swan Dress” worn by Björk during the 73rd Academy Awards. —Vita Daily
