You might remember me making a gazillion dresses out of one big trash bag a while ago (see pictures here). Afterwards I bought some similar looking real fabric and decided to make the trash bag dress get real (see pictures here). Well, a couple of days ago, while browsing through the latest fall/winter 2008/9 collections, I discovered a dress at Lanvin that was rather similar to one of the trash bag dresses I made. I just thought it was pretty funny. It’s not that I say that he copied me or something, because I know that is rather impossible. It’s just comforting to see that my thoughts (fashion-wise) were similar to those of the great designer that is Alber Elbaz.
