The debut of the Virgin Collection by OAT Shoes at this year's Amsterdam International Fashion Week was spectacular. The line consists of footwear that is absolutely biodegradable. The idea is that after you've worn them for a long time, you can either chuck them in the garbage or plant them and watch them bloom!
The Virgin Collection won OAT Shoes the second prize at the Green Fashion competition. Modeled by semi-naked "Adam and Eve" the eco-friendly company portrayed the idea of returning back to mother nature. OAT Shoes is a young company that everybody should keep their eyes on.
