Video Of The Week - A 'Disposable' Fashion Show

By Meera Dolasia on December 7, 2009

While most designers are on the look out for the softest and silkiest materials for their creations, Marion Macedo sticks to a true and trusted medium - Paper.

The Bolivian designer who has become known for her cutting edge paper creations since 2005, recently unveiled her newest collection, which was inspired by colonial times, based on fashion from 200 years ago - in honor of Bolivia's independence from Spain, in 1809.

While the models were initially a little nervous because of the fragile nature of the material, they soon got used to strutting around in the gorgeous delicate outfits, which unfortunately would get only a single wear!
