I am sure every era and culture has experimented with paper clothing. I believe Scott was responsible for part of the trend. The paper is not thin, but it is usually a one time wear thing. The ones I have seen were very vibrantly patterned. Additionally, lots of couture houses have shown paper clothes at one time or another. This season on "Project Runway" there was a "Design a Dress Out of Newspaper" challenge, and several of the looks were interesting/ pretty and wearable. Paper dresses were a big fad in the ’60s.
