In 1930's Germany, their currency was worth so little that it was actually more economical to clothe oneself in one's physical paper money rather than using it to buy clothing. I wondered why nobody thought of this before, and it turns out because paper money is a really, really ineffective at clothing the human body. It doesn't behave like cloth at all- something I can't believe I didn't realize before I started treating it like fabric; sewing the dollars on the hanging outfit worked perfectly fine, but once the model put it on, it tore like crazy because (oh, yeah, I forgot) paper doesn't stretch. So, the outfit is constructed using a fusion of material and paper adhesive products: hand-stitching (yeah, I hand stitched it. Lots of sweat and blood involved) gluing, taping and (in some places) stapling :)
