I've seen minifig earrings and cufflinks in person, but I've yet to meet someone who is rocking a LEGO belt buckle or bowtie -- but if the latest fashion trends are any indication, it's just a matter of time.The New York Daily News profiled Dee and Ricky (click through just for the joy that is the oversized Russian winter hat that Ricky is wearing indoors) Jackson -- fashion designers whose stock and trade is creating accessories out of LEGO bricks.
Their story is what makes LEGO products so endearing -- that the brothers from Staten Island were able to change their lives through their own imaginations. The article ends on one of the finest quotes I've read in a while:
"It's easier than dealing drugs. We are flipping bricks -- Lego bricks."
