Eco-friendly fashion created using cow dung
Dutch artist Jalila Essaïdi weaves fashionable outfits from fabric manufactured from cow dung. Inspired by the availability of excess cow manure in the Netherlands, Essaïdi devised a technique to break down dung with chemical reactions to synthesise bio-paper and plastics, which upon refinement produces a thread-like material. She uses this material to weave the fabric into garments.
