Nguyen Minh Tuan Creates Glow-In-The-Dark Dress Out of Condoms
Meghan Young — December 6, 2011 — Lifestyle
Safety should always come first when engaging in sexual activities, but the same is not usually said for fashion -- that is, until Nguyen Minh Tuan came around. She may not be a sex or fashion expert yet, since she is still a graphic design student, but Nguyen Minh Tuan clearly knows more than some.
Nguyen Minh Tuan has created a dress out of 700 condoms in honor of World AIDS Awareness Day. Granted, these condoms may not be able to prevent sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancies considering they're on a dress, but the dress itself sends a unique message: condoms can be cool and stylish. In fact, Nguyen Minh Tuan's condom dress doesn't even look like it was created using the risque latex material -- it even glows in the dark!
