New York − A new jacket has been designed with medical grade silicone using the same air-drying process that is used to manufacture condoms, reported Business Standard.
Asher Levine, who has created the new 'condom jacket', said that it's basically the same thing but it's a coat.
The 25-year-old designer who has previously dressed Lady Gaga also said that he likes the slimy, wet look of the jacket and added that that the amount of silicone used to cover the coat could produce about 300 to 400 condoms.
He will be selling it today (20 November) at the 'Housing Works Fashion for Action Benefit' and the proceeds from the sale will to provide supportive services for HIV-positive transgender clients.
