We've seen some crazy creations in the past when it comes to making a statement with fashion. 

But this one is definitely one that leaves us shocked. 

In the video, we see a short snippet of a model wearing a wedding dress made of plastic cups and plates. 

What we know as disposable crockery is used in a creative and innovative way to make a gown. 

If anything, this is a lovely way of shedding light on sustainable fashion. Not to mention, a great way to repurpose, upcycle plastic, which as we all know is a great issue for our marine life. 

The model that walks downstairs in this intricately designed wedding gown, looks nervous that things may fall apart. 

However, she manages to make it down safely and intact with the help of two people holding her plastic train.

People have been left in shock and awe of her creation, which looks catwalk ready and definitely has created a spectacle.
