Who knew invasive plant species could be so gorgeous? Artist Nicole Dextras scoured her backyard (and her neighbors’) for wearable weeds to comment on environmental issues in the fashion industry, such as the need for sustainable materials. This prom dress was made from Yucca plants found in her neighbor’s backyard. Dextras said she was stunned to find that her neighbor found the plants to be a nuisance.
Nicole’s ice typography is pretty amazing too.

It doesn’t get much more awesome or horrific or perhaps horrifically awesome, depending on your point of view, than this, folks!
Behold the Sock Monkey Couture Dress by Rebecca Yaker of Hazel and Melvin’s Room (yes, that’s her modeling her own creation). If you don’t like that, how about this one?
