Weedrobes: Clothed by Nature

Weedrobes, created by artist Nicole Dextras, is a collection of clothes created entirely out of natural materials-leaves, twigs, flowers etc- that aims to 'raise awareness about the impact of industry on our eco-system,' as well as show us how  'our most effective tool for change is for consumers to demand more equitable products.'  Nicole's Weedrobes philosophy is also about 'being a free thinker' and 'creating one's own sense of style.'

Not only does Weedrobes cause us to think about our relationship with nature, but it goes beyond that-it's a work of art. Here are my personal favorites from the breath-taking Weedrobes collection:
