This Dress Was Made From 192 BART Tickets
What do you do with your BART tickets when they only have a nickel or a dime left on them? Add value? Donate them? Throw them away?
Oakland fashion designer Sean Porter spent three years saving his tiny tickets to create a designer dress, made out of 192 of blue BART tickets, with 120 of those tickets in the skirt alone. He used the shape of the Transamerica building as his inspiration for the shape of the dress.
It’s currently on display in the window of Piedmont Fabrics in Oakland through the end of March, alongside a mannequin wearing colorful ribbons representing the BART system map.
