Twisted Balloon Fashion
Cool fashion costumes made from twisted balloons. The downside though would require the wearer to stand at all time to ensure that the balloons stay intact.

This was in Shanghai, China! There was an amazing team of balloon artist that put together this fashion show. Majority were from the USA but also including Canada, Israel, Europe, and Japan. The dress I created is the red and yellow one (yellow round balloons)

I am looking for you all. Have been doing some searching on the internets to find who was in charge of this event in China. I have worked and am currently working on an event in Dubai. Tomfoolery and balloondresses.com came up in my search so I will try and contact them. Any other info would be helpful please contact me. Thanks, Flower Clown

I really like the idea of balloon outfits. I think they’ll be a new trend of the future.

I was fortunate to be able to work on this project along with several other talented artist. My dress is the black, red, and yellow dress that is made of un-inflated balloons for the top, and inflated balloons for the skirt. The Monkey King, (Mark Byrne) is pictured with my dress also.
Paul Belanger of Cornerstone Productions out of Baltimore, MD was the head event planner for this event.

These are really quite beautiful, and clearly took a lot of time to design. I particularly like the butterfly design. Now obviously, the wearers of these consumers can’t sit down for awhile, or lean against anything! But what a neat display!

Good evening,
I am with Old World village in Huntington Beach. Old World is a quaint European village built in the image of Bavaria located in Huntington Beach ca. currently we are re-vamping our 30 year old village. Part of the revamping includes getting more festivals, trade shows and entertainment for families in the community. I was surfing the web when I came across your website. I am wondering if I can spark interest in your organization to host an event here in Old World.
Our web site is http://www.shopthevillagehb.com and http://www.oldworld.ws
If you can take a look to see if we can work something out,I would greatly appreciate it.
