Sakamoto, who will be graduating from Tama Art University in Tokyo, decided to focus on the humble, but versatile stationery for her final thesis this year. Sakamoto used thousands of brown rubber bands and knitted them to make dresses, bolero jackets and even boots.

Apart from its functional side, the beauty and the elasticity of the material appealed to her.

Her clothes were on display, as part of a group exhibition of graduating students. While the exhibition has ended, one can track her experiments on her Twitter account.
