If you're struggling to find the money to pay for a show-stopping outfit this
festive season you could take a leaf out of artist Jess Eaton's book. She
creates her clothes from 'ethically sourced' dead animals such as roadkill.
The
controversial fashion designer has launched her second 'Roadkill Couture' range
that includes clothing and accessories made from cat fur, alpaca, seagull and
goose feathers - and even a human ribcage.
She
has also expanded into bridal wear, using white feathers to create headpieces
inspired by the fairy stories and books that shaped her childhood.
The
Brighton-based designer never pays for her materials and 'ethically sources'
them from roadkill and animals that have died of natural causes.
Jess
said: 'We eat the meat from animals every day and then we throw away their
bones and fur - it's all just waste.
'But
when I take these parts of a dead animal and turn them into beautiful pieces of
clothing that can be enjoyed for many years to come, it makes people question
their feelings about what's acceptable.'
