British fashion students have created new fashion designs from all that excess stock of Speedo LZR Racer's of the kind made in part from polyurethane and now banned under suit rules introduced by FINA on January 1, 2010. 

The results are stunning and you can see them on video and in photos and read more about them in the Speedo Dubai 2010 Special here on SwimNews.com.

Students at the London College of Fashion, University College Falmouth and the University of Huddersfield created their new designs from excess stocks of the revolutionary suit. The creations include several examples drawing on the suit's heritage in the pool, including a patchwork watershort using the LZR Racer and other Speedo watershorts sourced on auction websites by Man Kit Au Yeung from London College of Fashion, and an 'Afterlife' creation featuring a cape inspired by superheroes and aimed at the high-end fashion market by Eva Hiu Wa Lai also from London College of Fashion. 

Other designs saw the Speedo LZR Racer reworked for other uses, with University College Falmouth student Owen Bennett creating a buoyancy aid life jacket, and Adriana Margarita Ruiz, a London College of Fashion student, creating a Speedo LZR Racer inspired technical jacket.
