ethical fashion?

Rachel Freire is the designer of this dress it has been made of 3,000 cow and yak nipples. Normaly these parts of the animals go to waste but is this really necesary? i think there is a good reason why not, im all for recycling and getting the best out of everything but i dont think wearing 20 nipples on your shoulders is particularly attractive. All props to Rachel its not been done before ant the actual flower like shapes she has made are beautiful, but nipples are nipples.

Style icon: Katy Perry

I'm not a huge fan of her music but I do really like her style. Its fun, quirky and she wears a playsuit very well.
