Now this is what we call recycling.
Especially one that not only recycles but raises awareness of animal shelters at the same time. That’s exactly what Kristen Alyce, 33, is doing, by taking 200 dog food bags and turning them into stunning outfits.
The unconventional dressmaker, from Florida, wanted to ‘grab people’s attention’ for a fundraising calendar to raise awareness for The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast – a non-kill shelter for animals. Kristen spent 300 hours transforming empty dog and cat food bags into high fashion dresses, swimwear, and even a spacesuit.But this isn’t the first time Kristen has upcycled discarded resources to create fashionable outfits – she has previously used sweet wrappers, magazines, and even X-rays.The animal shelter she’s aiming to help also sort her out by providing bags they would normally discard.They just have to make sure it’s not ripped so Kristen can really get to work.
‘Animals need us to be their voices – and with a calendar like this we have the ability to bring this conversation into our daily lives.
