An Oscar Moment

With the Oscar Awards coming up this weekend, everyone is anxiously awaiting the red carpet fashion show. Looking to the past one can find some stellar gowns worn to the show designed by some of the best fashion had to offer. One of my favorites is this piece, designed by THEADORA VAN RUNKLE and made up of shredded pieces of the wardrobe Faye Dunaway wore in the film "Bonnie & Clyde"...

While I shudder a bit to think of the original pieces from the film being destroyed, it is the ultimate piece of "up-cycled" vintage! Read more about gowns worn at the Oscars, who wore them and where they are now in an article here at SIGNONSANDIEGO.COM.
