Bloomingdales + Crayola Team Up for Spring Campaign

For a gal who loves creating designs out of found objects, nothing makes me want to concept a project like childhood instruments refashioned into clothing. Growing up — heck throughout my adulthood, I dreamed of dresses constructed of paper, those tiny pompoms as earrings and rubber bands as bracelets. Oh wait that latter did happen. They were called jelly bracelets and all 80s kids had them. Anyway, the story here is that retailer Bloomingdale's has commissioned 12 fashion designers using assigned Crayola colors to create an exclusive collection. Out of the 12, seven of them pushed it even further with crayon sculpted ready-to-wear pieces. Now don't get excited about seeing these works of art at a Bloomingdale's near you. They're only onsite at New York's 59th location. PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW CARASELLA
