How to make Tea

From researching recycled fashion I came across these amazing dresses. Fashion designers, eco-conscious or not, are picking up on this eco-trend, taking a risk and taking vintage couture design to a higher level. Although I will be focusing on high street it’s interesting to see someones view on recycled fashion.  Take Gary Harvey , for example, he can take a pair of jeans, newspaper, trench coats, army jackets or wedding dresses and turn them into stylish vintage ball-gowns that would make any eco-conscious princess hopeful for a greener and prettier place. The dresses are dramatic but it’s possible to create something jsut as beautiful for the ‘high street’ market.

I really like some of the above dresses, there unusual and eco friendly when you think that this guy created such beautiful dresses from rubbish, to look at them you wouldn’t really have imagined how they looked before. It would be interesting to be able to experiment with designs and maybe work alongside some fashion students to come up with a ‘small range’ of clothing so that I will have some initial material to promote. It’s always nice to have body and content behind the visual identity of a store.
