wear EAT me
You don’t have to wear a coconut brassiere to make food wearable. Coconut fiber, banana silk & pineapple leather are being used to create the latest and most fashionable textiles. So, if Gaga’s meat dress isn’t your groove, try banana silk. The next Call wants the wearable version of your art–from clothing to jewelry, but it doesn’t have to be edible. (Brownie points from me if it is, though.) So, make it work…
