Forest Fashion

Vancouver: For 22 seasons, Vancouver Fashion Week has striven to deliver a fashion experience that celebrates multi-culturalism and diversity, attracting Canadian and International designers from around the world… Designer Jose Hendo from London showcased her environmentally friendly collection that is made mostly from tree bark… The material is renewable and the concept is based on 700 years of traditional tree bark cloth-making skills in Uganda and other African countries. “Tree bark is the most sustainable fabrics ever. Because when you harvest from the tree, it regenerates and you can harvest again and again,” she told Xinhua.
