Ford is following the same fashionable path to success adopted by Lexus. The giant company has decided to give a new meaning to old car parts, while celebrating its 100th year in the UK.

The automaker proves that the fashion business and the auto industry have a thing in common: the passion for one-of-a-kind, innovative products, with a minimal impact on the environment, Earth911 informs.

The dress and the jewelery designed to go along with it could definitely attract the attention of eccentric celebrities, craving for a few minutes of glory on the red carpet.

Counting on the talent and creativity of Judy Clark, a gifted Scottish designer, Ford has witnessed the transformation of common car keys, seat covers into a spectacular dress and an amazing necklace matching the eco-friendly outfit.

In order to make a powerful statement, lots of old Ford parts have been properly recycled and combined with delicate fabrics like chiffon, lace and leather.
