Fashion Statement of the Day: Designer Tina Sparkles upcycled 30lbs-worth of computer wires and a thrift-store curtain to craft her one-of-a-kind “Systems Supernova” dress for the Austin Fashion Week.
“I read how e-waste is being shipped to developing countries and how people are melting it at homes there,” says Sparkles. “I was inspired to make this dress to address the issue of e-waste in the form of an art project, not to make a dress that was literally meant to be purchased and worn.”
