This article discusses the creation of a brand of toilet paper called Cashmere by Scott Paper Ltd. in Canada, in an effort to make toilet paper more fashionable. Loft, a trendy new lounge in Toronto's entertainment district, will host what may be the fashion event of the season: the unveiling of the White Cashmere Collection Fall 2004. Eight of Canada's top fashion designers--including Hilary Radley, Joeffer Caoc and Farley Chatto--have been asked to create one-of-a-kind couture using the world's most luxurious wool. The twist is the purpose for this sartorial glitz: to launch Cashmere, an exclusive new brand of toilet paper. Secondly, the mental leap between designer fashion and the product's intended purpose is unappealing (especially, you'd think, to the designers). But what's most amazing is that, in conceiving a designer toilet paper, the people at Scott have unwittingly created the ultimate symbol of North American disposable culture.
