All these crazy suits come from artist Danny Treacy and his ongoing art collection called ‘Them.’
Danny Treacy finds old and discarded clothing in wastelands, parks and wherever else and sews them together into crazy suits. The artist then wears the creations, and he says by doing so, becomes ‘Them.’
While it’s sort of a creepy idea, wearing clothes you find in the garbage, I suppose turning trash into art is always a cool thing. Check out the ‘Them’ collection by Danny Treacy above.
