Christopher Raeburn, a marvelous eco-designer from Britain has just shown his
new collection and it's terrific. He uses upcycled fabrics to great effect. This dress is one, I believe, from decommissioned parachute nylon - isn't it chic?! I'm crazy about it.
Ecouterre reports, "Raeburn stumbled upon a cache of ’50s-era flight maps, printed on silk
instead of paper so pilots could find their way to safety even in a
downpour. (“The intricate print is as interesting to decipher as it is
visually impressive,” Raeburn says.)"
Here is a map dress -
