Newspaper dress, made from 30 copies of the 'Financial Times'.
Talk about recycled fashion! Ladies you can always collect 30 copies of your local newspaper and put together a lovely creation to wear down the aisle, just make sure it doesn't rain that day!
Gary Harvey’s, designer of the dresses in this post, first collection showcased nine of his stunning dresses at the Estethica exhibition at the London Fashion Week. The collection creates a dramatic display designed to change people’s perception of second-hand clothing and create fashion with a conscience. Gary uses material he finds in places like secondhand clothing stores to avoid waste, he says of good quality second hand clothing, people "wear it one or two times then discard it because it's suddenly deemed aesthetically unimportant and out of date when there's years of life left in the garment." His collection "was a comment about thinking about the real cost of the garment that you buy, about that cost being natural resources, exploitation of labour, the biodegradable nature of garments."
