Bandages as Fashion?

According to many designers bandages can be used to add a little flair to an otherwise boring outfit, even if you don't have a cut to cover.

Alexandre Herchcovitch, Brazilian fashion designer, first introduced his line of boldly patterned Band-Aids last month at the Opening Ceremony in New York and Los Angeles. At $10 a pop, he sold over 100 boxes within a week!

However, he is not the first designer to introduce this small adornment. According to the New York Times, Marc Jacobs sold $2 packages of bandages with catchy phrases such as: "Ouch!" and "Boo! Boo!" in a box that said "That's Gonna Leave a Marc." Check out more of Marc's band-aid designs on eBay.

If bold patterns and catchy phrases don't make you want to run out and buy some band-aids, then maybe German designer, Fabian Seibert can help. He spares no expense and decorates bandages with Swarovski crystals. You can purchase his band-aids at www.suelzkotlett.de.
