Dress Made Out of 50,000 Gummy Bears
For its debut, Twelv Magazine commissioned
this Alexander McQueen-inspired dress made out of 50,000 gummy bears:
To build the design, stylists Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi
twisted steel wire into the shape of a dress and covered it with vinyl.
They then spent three weeks gluing on 50,000 pieces of the gummy candy
in a rainbow gradient pattern. The final 220 pound ensemble was fitted
exactly for model Jessica Pitti and required three people to move! I
can only imagine the temptation to snack on the sweet treats as they
dressed the model. Below you can also see the original Alexander McQueen
dress that inspired the delicious design.
