Forget Loom Bands - condom dresses are the new fashion statement

Stunning dresses have been made out of one of the most unlikely fashion materials - condoms.
A dress made entirely out of loom bands may have nearly sold for £170k but it's these other rubber dresses that are taking over the catwalk.
At an international Aids conference in Melbourne Brazilian based artist Adriana Bertini launched her glitzy range of dresses made out of unused condoms.
But the activist is no Johnny-come-lately, her Condom Couture range has been spreading awareness of safe sex for a while now.
Her workshops help spread awareness by encouraging young people to get to grips with condoms in a creative environment.
Some of her designs have even made it to the catwalk to spread the message as safe sex and female empowerment have been central to her designs.
Not everybody is a fan though. One social networker posted: "On the one hand, I appreciate the creativity... on the other hand, it's hard to remove the "wet" look all condoms seem to have and it's a bit gross."
Another added: "I see them and think they are gorgeous and then I remember that they are made of condoms... Eww!"
