Fancy a full skirt of potted plants that appeals to your inner princess? Constructed by Italian designer Linda Schailon—who also makes anemone-like rings from recycled straws—the Sprinkle Dress features a full garden-wire skirt that supports a phalanx of thriving botanicals, all neatly potted in discarded yogurt containers.
“It would be nice to bring nature to onself, not only in your heart,†Schailon says. “So you can close your eyes and imagine for a moment being in an enchanted place.â€
