Jean Charles de Castelbajac Dollar Dress

I am a huge fan of Jean Charles de Castelbajac's work as it is so wacky and zaney, often with a humourous element which I think compliments The Girls Paper Eaters concept. I first saw this dress worn by Katy Perry on a television chat show and what you can't see from this photograpgh is that the dollar bill is made entirely of sequins!
I love how this dress symbolises societys greed and obsession with money, as fashion has always been a status symbol for wealth and greed, just never before in such a blatant, obvious way. I hope to incorportate this idea into the Greed concept of my photo shoot.
