Crayons are perfectly capable of creating amazing works of art, but nothing quite like Bloomingdale's crayon clothes has been made before. The company teamed up with Crayola and a host of fashion designers to create unique window displays out of crayons, crafting everything from dresses to shorts and blouses. The result is creative clothing that actually looks real from not that far away.
The Bloomingdale's crayon clothes grace the window's of the company's 59th Street location in Manhattan. These photos were captured by Matthew Carasella and show the amazing amount of detail put into each piece. Yes, anyone can glue crayons to clothing but very few people can manage to make said clothing look fashionable when all is said and done.
