Enviro-Couture: Haute Art from the Waste Container is a theatrical and finely tailored take on newspapers rewoven and hardware jewellery smartly crafted from re-possessed e-waste. This artistic collaboration breathes new life into yesterday’s news.
Enviro-Couture features 100% recycled newspaper wearables created by Elena Gregusova (a continuation of her “Wear the News™” collection), as well as the upcycled hardware jewellery of Barbara Gregusova. Both collections are illustrated in the fine art photographs of Martin Gregus. Barbara’s abstract, geometric jewelry collection is resourcefully crafted from recycled hard drives, laser toners, ink-jet cartridges and other re-possessed electronic waste.
This project bypasses the concerns of day-to-day fashion trends and instead suggests a blue-sky vision for the haute-possibilities that abound for materials generally destined for the trash pile or household waste bin. Traditional recycling is certainly an obvious waste reduction solution, but for those who wear their green heart on their sleeve, perhaps ‘enviro-couture’ is another way to fashionably spread the enviro-message.
