What sort of fashion designer would shriek at the sight of a needle anywhere near their design?

No, this isn’t a riddle. I was just introduced to the amazing world of balloon fashion and it has completely blown my mind.

Above is a video of a ballon fashion show from the AEMI balloon festival in Shanghai, China in 2008. The incredible patience and craftmanship that went into these garments is astounding. The show highlights creations by artists from all over the globe. I can’t even blow up a balloon with my eyes open in fear of a loud POP!
