Friday night found me at a highly experimental fashion design show that explored re-use, alternative-use and I should also imagine, the idea of
upcycling; perhaps best explored conceptually in the Paco Rabanne(ish) bread-bag-clip dress, the dolls heads halter neck top
(F-U Barbie), and the coffee sack skirt and coat. I was once accused of wearing a 'burlap sack' while sporting a raw linen shirt (by an American in St Petersburg Russia of all places - the shirt was from Helsinki..), these models really are wearing one! If this show is about making us think about how we use what is around us everywhere, everyday, with an emphasis on the ubiquitous plastic bag; then this project is a huge success. Enjoy the show, I certainly did.
"Created by Sydney brand Dehautt by Sara Nicolette, this collection enables us to reflect on the nature of our consumerist society by using often-overlooked raw materials, and allows us gain some insight into the importance of recycling and working towards preserving for the future."

I could not imagine real people wearing stuff like this out on the streets of Sydney. This is definitely just a for show set of clothing isn't it?
Hi Mark, I think the idea is mostly to promote thinking about how we use/abuse the environment and what we can do to reduce our impact. Which has to be a good thing surely. Mind you I can think of a few venues and events in Sydney these outfits would be well at home in! Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Kent.
