Oscar winning...



 
 
Bond Girl, Naomie Harris, attended the 2013 Oscars in a dress made by Ghana-born fashion student Michael Badger.
 
This dress is the winning design in a Red carpet green (sustainable) dress challenge. It is made from organic material, recycled zippers, and was hand embroidered with vintage glass beads and chocolate wrappers.
 
For me one word says it all; ELEGANT. She looks amazing. The lovely mustard color and golden beaded bodice does bring to mind molten lava (which is the inspiration behind the dress).
 
I am so proud of our African designers.. We are getting there ;-)
