All eyes on "The Condom Collection" at International AIDS Conference

Condom dressThis season, the condom is the thing to wear.

That's the message at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto, where the aim is to destigmatize the humble prophylactic by turning them into brooches and pins as part of a movement called "The Condom Project." The initiative is aimed at fighting the spread of HIV by making people comfortable with condoms.

One woman took it a step further by creating an entire rubber wardrobe. Brazillian designer Adriana Bertini displayed several latex confections at the conference, including a dress made of orange condoms.

"The idea is you will see it and think of AIDS," she said.
