The Little Green Dress Projekt: Wear it and Compost it, Nicole Dextras

These dresses bring new meaning to the words natural and sustainable. A gentle take on the LBD (little black dress), the little green dresses are made out of leaves and flowers, as part of the Earth Art exhibition at Vancouver's VanDusen Botanical Gardens.

Nicole Dextras is a Canadian environmental artist who works with nature. This gorgeous project takes its inspiration from Chanel's classic sleeveless dress. Subtitled "Wear it and Compost it", each of the 28 dresses is being created on site at the museum from locally sourced plants.

The dresses will be left on display outside, to decompose over time.
