Dresses made from inner tubes? iPod covers made from recycled plastic? Belts made from used tires? This relates to global warming how, you ask? Well, it turns out it's all part of a neo-green movement in fashion, as featured in this Wired article. I'm not sure how viable this all is, but they say it's an attempt to get people to be green with their purchasing power.



And yes, that's the inner tube dress to the left. I don't know about you, but it still kinda looks like an inner tube to me. A bigger gal could really sell the resemblance, I think.










Now, you get Victoria's Secret model Oluchi Onweagba to wear an inner-tube dress and maybe I'll take it seriously. Though, in doing my -ahem- research, I found out that Victoria has a dirty little secret.
