SANTA FE, N.M. -- In the world of trashy fashion, designer Nancy Judd has hit the big time.

Ms. Judd spends her days in a studio here crafting clothing from castoff plastic bags, electrical wire and old cassette tapes. Now, her Dumpster couture has caught the eye of environmental activists, who plan to showcase her work in Washington at Saturday's Green Inaugural Ball honoring President-elect Barack Obama.

The star piece: A man's coat made from Mr. Obama's campaign fliers. She says it took her 200 hours to cut and paste and sew it.

What a treat to see these chic and ultra-imaginative "trashions!" I particularly love the faux fur coat and rusty nail dress. Brilliant!

Jenna,
You may not read this, but I like what you are doing. I wish I could come to your Green Inaugural Ball on January 17. My wife and I are just to busy with our baby. I am looking forward to watching your ball on television. I watch Planet Green all the time. We hope to get our home completely off the grid in the near future.
