These [clothing donation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-and-the-salvation-army) posters created for Brazil's Shopping Itaguaçu encouraged mall visitors to drop off their clothes at designated locations, rather than letting [unworn or ill-fitting clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closet-clearout-challenge) turn into food for moths.

Each of the print ads features different garments shaped into [items of food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snackable-fashion), including a few rolls of sushi, a hamburger and a cupcake. The different textures on the clothing really makes the food-shaped clothing piles come to life. Some of the charming details includes buttons that look like decorative details on the cupcake and belts used to keep the sushi rolls in a cylindrical formation. The donation ads were developed for Shopping Itaguaçu by the BZZ Propaganda agency in Brazil and they are a clever way to show that clothing, like food, should not go to waste.
