I could cook GaGa’s dress over a fire and enjoy it more.

So basically, the ink dress is like a giant maxi-pad that they show in commercials to show off its absorbency.

Soda Can Dress seemed the most stylish and the one that would probably get the least amount of trash talk and ridicule at a party

The umbrella dress brings so many interesting things to mind. Let it rain!

Um, isn’t that garbage bag just turned upside down and slit for arms? How is that a design? I made dresses like that (but with belts, and paint!) in the 80s in highschool.

The soda can dress actually looks pretty cool but if you sat down, wouldn’t you just crumple and bend all the can tops and bottoms?

I like the ink dress. It’s very artistic/sci-fi. would be cooler with more than one color though. or a monochromatic color scheme at least.
#1 favorite is the laser cut dress. I’d wear the crap out of that.

the garbage bag dress though? not impressed by things I could make in two seconds myself, and have made in the past when it’s pouring rain and I have no umbrella.

The grass one would be an amazing camouflage!

@ Tom, unfortunatley, somehow i doubt it was made for that purpose :D
the bacon one is ugly, and probably very smelly
you would have to have a pretty big umbrella for the umbrella dress
the toilet roll dress is fantastic
the stencil.. well, just patience i guess
the ink dress is extremley uglt and looks like something i dont even want to mention
i’d hate to think what would happen if the balloons popped on the balloon dress
my favourite is the colour in dress, cuz u can have a different design all the time.

i like every one because
they have a diferent creativity
but the best is INK d.. because this design show us a new form to do the things and a new perspective of the things mixing a futurist design with tecnology at the same time

With all the crazy and inspiring couture dresses created I believe that some of these dresses should not be on the list.

I don’t understand that intimacy dress… does it turn transparent when it senses that you are about to do it with someone? Sounds awful but I guess it is an interesting exploration of technology.
The umbrella dress is cool, and the laser cut one is pretty. The balloon dresses can be really fun… or horribly embarrassing depending on when they pop.
The ink dress is unnecessarily complicated. You could get way cooler designs if you just painted on a dress, rather than have that dumb automatic contraption doing it for you.

I’d take the Garbage bag dress and put most of these designs in it…
Most are…I’ll leave it there.
Lady Gaga had to wear meat to prove some good taste! LOL

I’m glad Lady Gaga made the list. She trully pushes every previously pushed buttons. It’s nice to see POP culture grow again.

Lady Gaga’s dress is just nasty– not creative, not funny, not interesting. It’s just gross. There’s a thin line between “different” and “deranged”, and she has definitely crossed it.

This Lady Gaga thing pisses me right off – this was done nearly 20 years ago by artist Jana Sterbak in 1987 – called Vanitas…

The umbrella dress is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! i couldn’t think of a different look for my final project in my fashion concepts class, but then i came across this unique umbrella dress and i have to try it. I however can’t use any fabric whatsoever for this final project, that includes thread, but i know what i will to sew it together with. But another great idea is the garbage bag, which i will also try that one as well.
