   Most artists have a favorite material they like to work with. For 28-year-old Kristen Alyce,it happens to be trash. The designer uses her unusual ability to make beautiful clothing that sells for thousands of dollars out of garbage like empty drink bottles.

   Kristen Alyce says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates produced every day. Then she began to dream about changing the thrown-away bags and packages into beautiful clothing. Her first dress was made of plastic bags and magazines. It was special,fun and even attractive. However,she only made it to test her creativity.

   The young designer did not consider starting a company until she spent a week working in a famous fashion company. There she watched the excitement created by new and old styles of clothing and decided to see whether her unusual idea would succeed or not. She began by creating 12garbage-made dresses. They were a great success and her company was bom!

   Today her company produces all kinds of clothes. Kristen Alyce,of course,doesn’t search for her material in trash cans anymore. Instead,she finds it from companies that have produced more than they need. Since the designer can work with anything from yellow pages to candy wrappers (包裝爹氏) ， finding trash is never a problem.

   However,if you think the garbage-made dresses come cheap,think again. The price for ready-made creations sells from $ 500 to $ 1,500. Though that may appear expensive,Kristen Alyce says that she has no shortage of customers.
