Well, this looks like a “Project Runway” challenge guest judged by Eve Ensler, now doesn’t it? Designer Walter Raes is big on creating fashions out of everyday, “unlikely” materials — he designed Keypad Clubbing Top, the Cassette Tape Dance Dress and the Cola Wedding Dress. So what are you looking at here? Cotton tampons were the instrumenstral material in his latest creation, the Charles Period Top. “By grouping single tampons together, I created a complex but versatile top,” he explained to Ecouterre. “The object you shy away from actually becomes beautiful.” I agree that it’s really kind of stunning, although I’m curious about how well it masks day two period bloat.
