Man makes ‘Met Gala-worthy gown’ using condoms for this special reason
“How are people so talented?” wrote a YouTube user while reacting to a dress made using expired condoms.
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.
