# Hirsute Couture The Kim Do Hair Dress Contains 1 Million Meters of 54 Vietnamese Artists' Hair By Amanda Chang | Published 2010-05-16 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kim-do-hair-dress References: [styleguru.org](http://www.styleguru.org/entry/an-amazing-dress-made-from-the-hair-of-54-different-people-photos/) & [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/dress-made-from-one-million-meters-of-human-hair-showcased-in-vietnam.html) The Kim Do hair dress is one of the most bizarre dresses I've ever seen. It's [made completely out of hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-kits) from 54 people across Vietnam--one million total meters of hair. The Kim Do hair dress is one of the only frocks made completely out of human hair; there are no traces of any fabric used in the [unusual art dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). Gross? Perhaps, but that's the price of fashion.
