Judd refers to the line of salvaged campaign junk as the "Campaign for Change Couture Collection." Her goal was to put together a "trashion" collection that would help make a green fashion statement at Obama's inaugural festivities. Saturday she realized her dream.
Some of the more noteworthy pieces created by Judd and her studio of 20 workers were: the "Obamanos" coat made of campaign door hangers, and the "Obama cocktail dress" made out of yard signs. The 1950's vintage "Obamanos" coat took a reported 200 man hours to make, and here's a piece of trivia for you -- it features a John McCain flyer under the right armpit. Ouch.
Nancy hopes that her artwork will help people approach environmental issues "in a really positive way that is fun and playful" rather than the all-too-common "we're all going to die kind of thing."
