A dress made from shredded bin bags, worn by Lady Gaga for a TV promo of her ARTPOP album and at the artRAVE launch of the record, has become the latest towering exhibit in the Design Museum’s Women Fashion Power show.
Standing alongside a cast including Margaret Thatcher, Vivienne Westwood and Shami Chakrabarti, the dress is the latest addition to the exhibition curated by architect Zaha Hadid.
British designer Gareth Pugh created the torn black look for Lady Gaga in his London studio. Made from wool, leather, cotton mesh and black polythene, it was first seen on a catwalk at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild, in Paris, in late 2013.
“This was one of several looks made entirely of shredded bin bags, which was at heart an attempt to make something beautiful and luxurious from a material that is extremely inexpensive and ephemeral," said Pugh, adding the dress was "something that is destined to be discarded from its very conception."
