Designer Judd Will Be Showing Off a Coat of Many Colorful Obama Posters
SANTA FE, N.M. -- In the world of trashy fashion, designer Nancy Judd has hit the big time.
Nancy Judd Ms. Judd spends her days in a studio here crafting clothing from castoff plastic bags, electrical wire and old cassette tapes. Now, her Dumpster couture has caught the eye of environmental activists, who plan to showcase her work in Washington at Saturday's Green Inaugural Ball honoring President-elect Barack Obama.
The star piece: A man's coat made from Mr. Obama's campaign fliers. She says it took her 200 hours to cut and paste and sew it.

PING! :-)
I think she looks like a fun person, if you can get past all that eco save-the-earth BS. Her stuff, even from her own description, isn’t really wearable - one of her dresses she said could double “as a sweat lodge.” I can’t imagine a better use for Obama stickers etc. than the trash bin!
That said, I sure wouldn’t want to live anywhere near her. Can you imagine what her garage looks/smells like?
I wonder what the carbon footprint is of someone who spends a month making a dress?
I’d bet it is MORE harmful to the climate than it is helpful. But hey, she did save 1 square centimeter of space in a landfill somewhere.
way too much free time. she is definitely single.
You never, ever cease to amaze me, Slings! Great job! LOL.
We all need a good laugh.
Well, I laughed. This came out of left field...
I posted this from the WSJ today.
Start at the top and check out the slide show, if you want.
That picture is not me.
I have a much better mustache.
I knew you were more “refined.” :-)
I clicked through the slide show.
Thats it, I give up on redheads. They are all insane.
Her designs are very creative, although more art than apparel. Kitschy and fun, clever and resourceful, but certainly not doable on a large scale. In the time it took to make just one outfit, she could have sheared a sheep, carded the wool, spun the thread and woven the fabric to make it out of durable, wrinkle-proof, fireproof wool. Instead, the person who buys her weird nail or glass or sharp aluminum-scaled garment will find that it falls apart after one wearing. Even worse, no one wants to hug them.
That's why the ground glass outfit works so well.
Now that’s a trashion statment!
I’d accuse of stealing that photo from me if I hadn’t stolen it from someone else!
