A fashion designer collaborated with a government agency to create a condom dress for a very special reason. Gunnar Deatherage joined hands with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and created a dress using expired condoms to raise awareness about sexual health. In a video shared on YouTube, he also shared his process of creating the ‘Met Gala-worthy gown’.

“I made a dress out of condoms and it’s stunning,” Deatherage wrote as the title of the video. The clip shows him using pins and zip ties to turn the condoms into shapes resembling flowers. He then spray paints them and places them on the hem of a black dress. As the video progresses, he goes on to sew the condoms all over the dress - and the result is stunning.

“Considering the amount of people in the comments who just learned that condoms have an expiration date, we definitely need more sex education. Thank you for what you’re doing, it might help a lot of people,” expressed a third. “Wow!! What an amazing way to repurpose expired condoms, create a gorgeous piece of art and help raise much-needed awareness about HIV/AIDS/sexual health! Absolutely incredible!” wrote a fourth.
