Scandalous British designer Jess Eaton often criticized for his non-standard work, the direction of which can hardly fit into the heads of too impressionable, conservative people. The girl earned her reputation thanks to the sensational art projects from the series Roadkill couturefeaturing trendy, extravagant outfits, jewelry and accessories made from parts … of dead animals that have been victims of road accidents or other accidents. A line of clothes made from down and feathers of dead birds is one of the latest projects of the studio EatonNott … Jess Eaton goes game hunting with studio partner Jon Nott. They collect dead carcasses on the roads, go to farms and agricultural enterprises, which donate skins and feathers of animals killed for cooking, as well as at other addresses, which were given to them by informants. And if you do not know the history of the origin of the Roadkill Couture Collection clothing line, there will not be the slightest suspicion that the elegant bride should thank the untimely deceased swans for her snow-white outfit, and the stylish black bolero with a stand-up collar once belonged to several crows.
Of course, the public is extremely negative, calling the Roadkill Couture Collection project a perversion, choosing diagnoses for the author, or simply turning up their nose at the mention of the name Jess Eaton. However, not all opponents of the EatonNott studio are in a hurry to give up meat and leather clothes. And many bohemians would love to wear outfits created by Jess Eaton, because it is not for nothing that her latest project enjoyed a well-deserved success at Brighton Fashion Week, and was greeted with a long standing ovation from the public.
Both this clothing line and the rest of the art projects in the Roadkill Couture series are created from animal skins and feathers from birds that have died of natural causes, have been victims of predators, accidents or pest control. Not a single animal was killed by either the designers or his assistants.
