Gone are the days when sensitive ladies fainted at the sight of a dead animal. Now they are not averse to picking up, examining the find and, if they are satisfied with everything, put it in a box. Englishwoman Jess Eaton does something like this. She makes skins on her own and finds fashionable applications for various parts of the body of an animal that has died a natural death, hit by a car or eaten by a neighbor in the food chain. So no sacrifices on the altar of fashion and the tears of our innocently murdered younger brothers.

Jess Eaton's collection of unusual outfits is called "Roadkill Couture" (roadkill - "animal hit by a car"). Among the designer's works are a gloomy necklace of 12 pheasant skulls, a bolero cape of 50 skins of white mice eaten by a familiar snake, and a hat of 4 magpie's wings. But at the same time, Jess Eaton assures that she was not going to shock the audience. And although only Lady Gaga would have dared to wear some of her models, the designer, according to her own statement, cared only about beauty.

The best gift for a woman is the head of a dead horse. In any case, designer Jess Eaton thinks so. After all, judge for yourself, it can be cut into pieces and used in unusual outfits and original jewelry. Of course, there is a downside to an interesting activity. So, the seven-year-old son of the fashion designer, Norton, can't wait for his mother to finally open something like an office or studio, and there will no longer be a cadaverous smell in their house.

But materials for collectible outfits are given to Jess Eaton for free. Which leads the designer to think about how much raw material can be recycled, and even give it a pretty look. Let people not rush en masse to gut rats to sew their own capes, but the principle itself is important, which Jess Eaton would like to convey to the audience: recycle, recycle and recycle again!

By the way, the collection of unusual outfits was a huge success at Brighton Fashion Week: the audience literally gave a standing ovation. After a ballot box, Jess Eaton has merged brands with colleague John Knott, and now they are collecting killed raccoons together.

Jess Eaton started out as a makeup artist in the German show business. Then she drove around the world after the VIPs, who needed to powder their noses in time. Then there were fashion design, body painting, and a passion for sculpture. Now, among other things, Jess Eaton is studying to be a scarecrow and says that she is always ready to try herself in an unusual field of activity.
