It reminds me of a rocker wedding where the bride wanted me to cut the bottom half of the dress I made into a mini for the wild reception. That same bride comissioned a cake made of Hostess Snowballs from my friend Chris March (on this season's Project Runway). Thanks for sharing such a fun story and your fantastic shots from the event.

My initial thoughts on "trash the dress" as a trend were 3: 1) I remember a friend of mine, who is older, telling me that when she got married back in the 50's, it was the custom among jewish girls to send the dress to israel to be worn by a bride there--apparently there was a shortage of appropriate wedding gear then. With a burgeoning fashion industry in Israel today, this hardly seems practical. 2) I am thinking of all those wedding dresses preciously put away and saved with thoughts of a daughter one day donning them...NOT! When was anyone's child even remotely their size? they are either 2 feet taller or 4 sizes smaller. Or a Boy. And who wants that creepy full skirted fat dress anyway? 3)I am thinking of the days when TWA had paper dresses (we are going back to the early 70's here) which were suppossed to be the hottest thing--right up there with Rudi Gernrich's topless bathing suit--the flight attendants took off their uniforms and donned them after take off to serve the travelers inflight, and they looked like togas--one would cut them to the desired length with a pair of scissors--need I tell you what these looked like after 5 hours over the atlantic? A lot of scotch tape was employed to keep them intact. Looks like a lot of fun--great pictures! Hi, Steve–boy the glamour never stops when one is a jet-set fashion photog-guy!
