Enviro-Couture!!! Oooooooo.
























These incredible photographs by Martin Gregus speak for themselves.

Enviro-couture is amazing.

What do we call this style?

Pre-Apocalyptic chic?
Post-Industrial hacker recyclo-chic?

Whatever it's called, I hope they do menswear next.

All of these outfits are the work of artist Elena Gregusova, who seems like the coolest person to hang with, share a bottle of wine, do some papier-mache? Could do? Call me.

“Wear the News™” project is Elena’s artistic reflection to contemporary multicultural communication and world environmental problems. The communication with the audience is realised through static and wearable artistic paper objects created exclusively from 100% recycled News(paper). Elena Gregusova addressed her artistic message to the community with the help of their own languages, the typefaces of the used News(paper) and the use of specific cultural and national symbols from any nation or country in the shape and structure of each object. At the same time Elena wants to show that, at the first sight after reading useless newspapers can be recycled with the help of a creative soul. Through her “Wear the News™” project Elena wants to make people aware of the importance of the nature and the protection of the environment for future generations. Now including the new objects from the Enviro Couture exhibition"



This is her. Isn't she awesome?
