London Fashion Student Is Taking Bodily Fluids And Turning Them Into ‘Fashion Statements’

I’m big on fashion. And by that I mean… I love to shop. I’m not saying I’m a fashion guru or anything. I don’t walk around workin’ heels and Gucci shades, but I love shopping. One time, I stayed in a hotel attached to the Mall of America and shopped for three days straight. That was my vacation, and I loved every second of it.

I realize that’s some people’s worst nightmare. *shrugs* It probably doesn’t help that my sisters are just as bad as I am. Eh, strike that. My youngest sister (the one with cerebral palsy) is the worst of us all. That girl can literally shop for hours. We break up our shopping sprees with some banana bread and fraps from Starbucks and CHARGE ON.

She’s my shopping buddy. My other sister? She likes shopping but usually loses focus in about 4 minutes.

ANYWAY. Fashion. Shopping. I’m all about it. But you know what I’m NOT all about? Accessories made out of bodily fluids.

That’s what this London fashion student is doing. She believes we can make fabulous clothes and accessories a more “natural” way.

A London fashion student has taken to decorating her masterpieces with crystal accessories formed from bodily fluids.

Royal College of Art graduate Alice Potts showcased her quirky design methods with a pair of ballet shoes adorned with crystals formed from sweat and a fake fur featuring urine-crystals at the RCA’s annual fashion show.

Alice, who has also experimented with blood, believed the odourless but stomach-turning materials, donated to her by fellow students, had environmental and health benefits beyond the limitations of traditional plastic or cotton.

Ewwww! Donated by her fellow students? They’re handing her their pee and sweat in baggies? HUUUUUUUURL.

“Instead of using plastic accessories to maybe embellish garments…we can start like growing onto our garments these new materials and more natural materials,” she said.

Translation: She’s crystalizing pee and putting it on clothes. Barf.

I like a little bling, but I’d rather have no crystals than pee crystals.

You?
