SHOWER CURTAIN CLOTHING NEXT BIG TREND?

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- You've heard of "haute couture" but what about "hardware couture." Graduating students at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City have just hammered together a clothing exhibition where all the outfits use materials purchased from hardware stores. Some of the more offbeat outfits include... -- A skirt and corset made from plastic shower curtains. -- A short, wrap-around dress made out of a white drop cloth. -- A knit-jersey dress featuring metal washer "sequins." -- And a quilted vest adorned with metal nuts and bolts.
