Magazines Turned Dancing With The Stars Costume

In honor of Laguna Beach’s second annual Festival of the Arts, jewelry designer Adam Neeley tried his hand at clothing design. And not just with any old dress, but a floor-length flamenco gown fashioned from the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Glamour. Using about 70-80 magazines, Neeley constructed “Novella” from more than 1,000 hand-folded paper fans, which he attached to a muslin base. For the bodice, Neeley re-purposed several of garbage bags, which made way for a plunging halter-neck sprinkled with black glitter.
