Joris is slowly sharing new fashions that he designed for the 42nd Earth Day on his FB page.  As before, the designs are made of recycled materials.  With a little help from makeup artist Vanessa Awe, and photographer Will Moreno, the project became a reality.  Check out those brilliant designs!

 

"The theme of the Project was 'Mourning for Mother Nature’s slow degradation'.  The mission of the project is to raise environmental awareness and to encourage everyone to willingly work together to protect our Jewel, our homeland, Belize.  How can we protect our homeland, our world?  We can do so by simply producing less waste and by reusing, renewing, and recycling."
