'Fashion in Leaves' re-purposes [leaves straight from the garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-house-1) to create new dresses for iconic photos. Three slim green leaves dress Audrey Hepburn. In a similar style, the artist might use one leaf or fifty to redefine [eco fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life). The most intriguing aspect is that the artist does not alter the leaves, but uses them as they are to re-create these [haute couture looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026). Some leaves are fresh, others are crumpled and some are in between varying states of decay. Each image is used on a white backdrop with grayscale figures. This results in a stunning and simple look, allowing the foliage to really stand out.
