DIY High Fashion

The days of DIY and handcrafts are coming back and in a big way! Couture houses such as Chanel and Dries Van Noten are even joining in with Chanel creating gorgeous headpieces out of standard printer paper for their Spring 2009 runway show and Dries Van Noten discovering eclectic jewellery from vintage collected bangles. Vivienne Westwood is another designer showing fashion is a mix of the new, old and recycled, from top to toe, realising this concept in her Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
