    Unhappy Designer makes dress from Yaks nipples

    I have just read an article about designer Rachel Freire who has made a dress out of Yaks Nipples.
    She refers to it as "recycling".
    I just don't understand why she would do this.

    I would think the media attention controversy creates.

    I think the nipples are removed from the imported yak leather and presumably would normally be thrown away. Not saying it's right.

    (Wonder which country exports yak leather?)

    Hmm, not an appealing idea but I'm not sure it's any worse than any other clothes made from animal skin really. The designer's remarks at the end of the article suggest she might have been trying to make a comment on the wearing, or at any rate the waste, of leather. Not sure if people will really make the connection though.
