Christian Sadler, of Barrington, sent his mother out to a warehouse store to get hundreds of Kit-Kats, Hershey bars and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups so he could harvest the wrappers. Sadler glued the red, orange and brown papers into a pastiche for the bustier on an original fashion design, which he calls “a cross between Willy Wonka and the Moulin Rouge.”
For the skirt, he gathered heavy-duty trash bags and sprayed them silver.
Sadler’s dress, one of several garments made by teenagers from recycled materials, will come to life on the runway at the Warwick Mall on Saturday in a “trashy fashion” show.
