Pinar Yolacan is 'The Tripe Artist'
The 23-year-old design student turned artist makes clothing out of tripe.
Yes, the real thing - the lining of a cow's stomach.
Cathy Horyn wrote a story about Yolacan's work (pictured above and below) in last Tuesday's New York Times Fashion section.
A showing of her photographs, "Perishables," opens at the Rivington Arms gallery on New York's Lower East Side on December 10.
The Turkish-born artist, asked about why she chose to work in her strange medium, replied, "I've always been interested in the impermanence of things."

Well......what she lacks for in design penchant, she makes up for in hott models.
PS - I think I found an ad from the artist in question:
"CASTING CALL - Wanted: models who don't mind wearing innards. Also, please have a full command of sour expressions."
Yikes.
