The Bio Fashion collection reminds me of a Project Runway episode. The designers here, like on the TV show, have constructed dresses, jackets and shorts all from plant material. The result is a somewhat temporary, wildly tropical look. I love the dress with the multi-coloured floral halter top and looped dracaena leaf skirt.
The Bio Fashion show was held at the end of November in Cali, Colombia. The designers all Columbian, were Hugo Cesar Dorado, Teresa Chamorro, Angela Aponte, Iveth Jaramillo and Cristhian Vargus.
