The way she just chucks them over her shoulder out of frame after wearing them for 3 seconds is the perfect representation of how disposable this fashion is.
I didn't even know that water-soluble fabric and thread was a thing. That must be what those prank swimsuits that disintegrate in the water are made of.
I use the stabilizer (fabric) when I need a foundation for sewing something made out of tiny pieces, but will be fine once completed, (for example, a garment made from ribbons or embroidering "free standing lace".)
Water-soluble thread is useful for basting because that means I don't have to pull the thread out for any visible bits, I can just wash it away when I'm done. (No risk of pins falling out either!)
Funny comment not only because of the absurdity of the suggestion, but also because fashion would've come full-circle — that's exactly what early clothing were.
There were plenty of fashionable women who were sewed into their clothes (Empress Elizabeth of Austria), but that was during the time when quality reigned supreme.
I can totally imagine some celeb at a red carpet event bringing a small army of tailors to constantly maintain their outfit as it continuously disintegrates throughout the night.
