			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes sure, condom fashion has <a rel="nofollow" href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKPEK7797820070711">been done before</a> it&#8217;s nothing new. Brazilian artist <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adrianabertini/">Adriana Bertini</a> for example devotes her whole time to condom dresses and art projects. But nevertheless it was a very special occasion last Wednesday (15th of October) when national designers met for the &#8220;<strong>Evening of Hope Condom Couture</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p>The fashion show organized by the nonprofit AIDS/HIV advocacy charity <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.projectinform.org/">Project Inform</a> and hosted by Project Runway&#8217;s <strong>Jack Mackenroth</strong> showcased local and national designers’ fall collections — along with a signature piece partially made of condoms. Jack Mackenroth made a wedding gown for this event:</p>

<p><strong>Wedding Gown Sketch</strong><br />
The condom wedding dress is made out of 2000 condom wrappers and a lot of glue.</p>

<p><strong>Wedding Gown Completed</strong><br />
That&#8217;s what the completed dress looked like. You can view <a href="http://blog.jackmackenroth.com/2008/10/17/project-inform-fashion-show-in-san-francisco/">more pictures here</a>.</p>

<p>I thought it was interesting noting that Jack is <strong>suffering from a latex allergy which made the project especially challenging for him</strong>. &#8220;I had to have volunteers from Project Inform take them out of the packaging &#8212; all 4,000 of them &#8212; since I can&#8217;t even touch latex because I go into anaphylactic shock. No joke&#8221;, he told <a href="http://www.queerty.com/j-mack-turns-condoms-into-couture-20081009/">queerty.com</a>.</p>
<p>Apart from Jack Mackenroth&#8217;s gown there were countless other participants some of whom incorporated as many as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/10/LVH313DSD7.DTL">32&#8217;000 condoms</a> into six outfits. If anyone knows about the rest please let us know in the comments!</p>
<p><em>Sincere thanks to <a href="http://www.jackmackenroth.com/">Jack Mackenroth</a> for sending in the images.</em>
