Recycled Flashback Fashion - 1950s Outfit Knit From Old Plastic Bags
[Edit]
[Edit]
Turning trash into fashion is a great concept and it takes an interesting twist here - Artist, Cathy Casdan decided to knit a 1950’s inspired ensemble entirely out of old plastic bags.
This great concept will be featured in an upcoming Recycled Art Show along with other similar art pieces from a variety of artists.
The dress is all hand knit from grocery bags that were the result of actual trips to the grocery store. As soon as I told people I could use their old bags for a project they brought them in by the bag full, I received thousands!
The plastic grocery bag came about in the 1950's along with futuristic optimisim about America, so I made a "typical" 1950's ensemble complete with pillbox hat and purse, not pictured. I am going to have my pieces in an art show on recycled art at the School of Art Gallery in downtown Kent along with a group of other people beginning April 19th.
