Katherinev123 — Dec 8, 2009 — Fashion
If you’re a clothes horse that doesn’t like to throw anything away, at least give your wardrobe an eco-friendly element by investing in some biodegradable clothing (although I’m not sure ‘investing’ is the right word). Papercraft fashions are everywhere, and with many designers jumping on the trend, they’re more stylish than they used to be. From dresses made of phonebooks to paper bag couture, here are some papercraft fashions to inspire you (to maybe make your own!).
