A group of students from Bath Spa University have stunned the world by taking cheese to a whole new level in their ‘Versa-Cheese’ runway collection.
The ‘Versa-Cheese’ runway collection is made entirely out of cheese and took fashion and textile students at Bath Spa University over 1,000 hours to make. The line involved more than 1 tonne of cheese.
Spokesperson Hannah Jenkins from Pilgrims Choice Cheese claims that the collection itself is said to have been inspired by Lady Gaga’s unusual meat dress that she donned at the VMA’s last year.
That being said, the 'Versa-Cheese' runway collection features everything from cheese ball gowns and dresses to cheese purses and shoes. Who knew that combining melted cheese and couture would create such a fashionable collection?
