The city of Changchun, capital of Jilin province, put on an unusually bold show, on April 7, when it held a runway event with the models wearing wedding dresses of various designs made almost entirely of paper. [Photo/asianewsphoto]

The show was meant to shine a spotlight on the creativity of the designer, Yang Sisi, who explained that she uses adhesive tape, structural supports and glue to hold the different layers of paper together. [Photo/asianewsphoto]

Unfortunately, in making her 95-percent-paper creations, the models usually end up posing for a couple of hours until their feet get numb and their backs sore, until Yang finishes the job. [Photo/asianewsphoto]
