Greek artist, Nikos Floros, a costume designer based in New York, has been making sweet, stylish music from aluminum cans. Inspired by famous operas, Floros cut and shredded 20,000 cans to create a set of gowns on display during the “Opera Sculptured Costumes” exhibition. The exhibition is part of a fundraiser for a new opera house in Athens.Nikos-Floros-ABC-News-1
