Prêt-À-Papier

Want to make your friends green with envy? Check out the jaw-dropping, eco-friendly window display at FIT on Seventh Avenue.

Appropriately entitled “Prêt-À-Papier,” this cutting-edge clothing exhibit features a range of red-carpet worthy frocks, which students constructed entirely from recycled paper.

While the silhouettes are all smashing, some standouts worth noting include a sweet cape compiled from dozens of Equal packets (ideal for curbing those sugar cravings), a bustier bound together by multiple store receipts (Hello, shopaholics!) and a sexy, off-the-shoulder Halston-esque number.

Our only concern: what happens if you get caught wearing one of these works of art during a sudden down-pour?
