Fashion designer Luana Jardim showed a collection of dresses, Specular, made of iron at Fashion Rio. If these gowns needed alterations, would you need a welder or a blow torch? Using iron as a fabric sure must have set the fashion world abuzz.
But how does this help sell fashion? Lucy, you have some 'splainin' to do.
When you watch the video, I'm not sure if that is music in the background or actual natural sounds from the models. Judy Jetson? Tin Man's Bride? You tell me, is heavy metal making a comeback?
