Cigarettes in Fashion?





Lady Gaga - Telephone

I saw this video today, I was particularly fascinated by the 'cigarette sunglasses'. Its a great example of reclaiming materials and altering their uses. I also liked the idea that they were displeasing to the senses as they burned noisly and gave off a strong smell. Its also interesting because in the video the cigarettes were lit which started me thinking about different sorts of temporary materials and coverings that I could experiment with such as ice.


Other artists/designers who inspired me to use cigarrettes include Susie Freeman & Irving Penn below.
