“Trashion†blogger and DIY genius Outi Pyy from Finland designs and hand constructs these stunning collars/necklaces from zippers. This girl is so talented that not only does she design these collars, but the black gown in which she is pictured in here, was also made by Outi from an old tablecloth.
The photos showing one of the collars in progress are just as lovely as the finished pieces.
She has submitted her designs to a number of Finnish fashion magazines, but unfortunately no one has shown interest yet... I'm sure this will change once more people see her artistic flair for “reconstructingâ€.
