# Extreme Foliage Couture Weedrobes by Nicole Dextras for Men & Women By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-07-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foliage-couture-weedrobes-nicole-dextras References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-wearable-weedrobes-of-nicole-dextras.html) & [nicoledextras](http://www.nicoledextras.com/) Weedrobes by creative artist Nicole Dextras is a [floral fashion fantasy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent). Not the least bit practical, durable or even figure flattering, her outfits are made from [leaves, flowers and stems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floral Fashion:** Opportunity for innovative designers to create sustainable clothing using natural materials like leaves, flowers, and stems. - **Eco-couture:** Potential for eco-conscious fashion brands to explore alternative materials and construction techniques that prioritize sustainability and natural elements. - **Artistic Wearable Sculptures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artists and fashion designers to blur the lines between fashion and sculpture to create unique and imaginative wearable art pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore new avenues of sustainable and eco-friendly clothing by incorporating natural elements in their designs. - **Art:** Art industry can find inspiration in the concept of wearable art, pushing boundaries and creating unique sculptural pieces that can be worn. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Sustainable fashion industry can incorporate natural materials like leaves, flowers, and stems to create eco-friendly and innovative clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Boxy Botanical Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-jacket.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Botanically Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove.md) - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Sculptural Bong Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bong.md) - [Art-Infused Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md)
