Weedrobes by creative artist Nicole Dextras is a floral fashion fantasy. Not the least bit practical, durable or even figure flattering, her outfits are made from leaves, flowers and stems. I love the fringy yucca mini dress and the twig corset with the velvet detail.
Dextras has even clothed a well-dressed man in magnolia leaf jacket, plant pants and a bamboo briefcase. Poor guy, don't you think he looks a tad bit uncomfortable?
You can see the Weedrobes collection in Albuquerque New Mexico at the Richard Levy Gallery, while it lasts.
