Condom Couture Fashion Show with Jack Mackenroth




Project Inform’s annual fundraiser debuts its newest look as it takes the runway at the fabulous new InterContinental Hotel in San Francisco. We’re launching the City’s freshest must-attend fête complete with cocktails, culinary delights, music, incredible live auction packages, and capped with a one-of-a-kind Condom Couture Fashion Show showcasing local and national designers’ fall collections — along with a signature piece partially made of condoms. This year’s Master of Ceremonies is celebrity fashion designer Jack Mackenroth from the hit reality TV show Project Runway.


From Jack's blog:

"I am making a couture wedding gown to close the show out of 4000 condom wrappers. I just finished the headdress and this weekend I will be completing the dress and flower bouquet–all made out of condoms. The show features several other designers who are showing their own collections and one look made out of condoms or the packaging. It should be AMAZING. It’s all to raise money for Project Inform which provides many crucial services for people with HIV/AIDS. If you are in the bay area please come!!!! I’m hosting the event and it should be a hoot."



UPDATE:

"Hey guys, Thanks for posting about the event. Actually I am allergic to latex--I use polyurethane ones for personal use. 4 volunteers had to take all the condoms out since I can't even touch latex.
Here are some pics of the final. Jack"
