These retro audio fashions prove that even though the CD, vinyl record and cassette tape are music technologies of the past, they can live on forever through fashion. From jewelry made from broken vinyl records to suits and gowns made from used cassette tapes, it's clear that there's no shortage of material for this innovative wearable art form.
Retro audio fashions have gained ground with the advancement of the eco movement and the widespread adoption of digital music. See some of our favorites above.
