Few weeks ago during the Creative Thinking and Problem Solving Class we did an exercice called “What could we do with a shoe”. The Purpose was to think out of the box and come with creative ideas, far from “wearing it”. I recently found a crazy website: My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress.
The story of the blog is sad, a man was dumped by his wife 12 years after the wedding and she only left the dress, telling him to do whatever he wanted with it. Well he took it litteraly and found 120 ways to use it and did several videos and photos of the different usage of the dress. From this blog a book is born with only 101 ways to use the dress. Here is the list, don’t hesitate to go on the site to watch the videos!
