My name's Robert Connolly, and I beat Lady Gaga to it by 31 years by wearing a two-piece suit made of salami as a sartorial hors d'oeuvre at the Slade School of Art postgrad private view in 1979. (I wrapped myself in clingfilm first to maintain hygienic standards, of course.) Dog owners were invited to bring their pets to deal with the leftovers. Photos by Giles Elgood.
