The words artist and inventive go hand in hand. Recently, four designers paired up with Lexus, luxury vehicle division of Japanese Automaker, Toyota Motor Corporation. The result is a limited collection of unique clothing and accessories from recyclable parts of a Lexus CT hybrid which was completely dismantled. The January 2012 issue of Vogue Magazine will unveil these astonishing results which are sure to become a hit for all you fashion-conscious fanatics.
The creations are truly works of art and extend you into the future of fashion in a glorious and significant way.
The Nomadic Sanctuary is a stylish trench coat using leather seat covers and cargo covers along with plant-based plastic. This design is brought to us by eco-designer, John Patrick.
Patrick believes in all organic and agrarian and launched the ‘John Patrick Organic Collection’ and “ORGANICPLAYA” in previous seasons.
The Valve Collection transformed valve lifters into astounding jewelry. Also used were crank bearings and hose clamps. The designer behind this was famous jewelry designer, Eddie Borgo. His aesthetic work is urban inspired with out of this world pieces that get plenty of attention and acclaim.
The Environmental Crown of Virtue is for the woman who wants to make a bold statement. A true crown is made with a transmission starter and exhaust manifold gasket also pairing eyewear into the mix as part of the crown. The creator is eyewear designer, Moss Lipow, who believes that eyewear must make a strong statement. Did you ever think that a rear bumper could be so beautiful?
Finally, the Luna Shoe used armrest leather trim, clear washer fluid plastic tubing and windshield wipers to produce an impressive wedge shoe. They could not have picked a more suitable designer than Alejandro Ingelmo who uses asymmetrical cuts, sharp detail and functional design to produce the most stunning accessories.
It seems truly remarkable that creativity has no limits.
