The 13th of September, the day the blogpost about plastic pollution was published, the headline of the Guardian caught my attention. "Trashion' designer Marina DeBris turns ocean rubbish into high-end outfits – in pictures".  Perhaps the topic was still so fresh in my mind that I was unconsciously looking for it. In any case, it is interesting enough to share it here.

The article told the story of artist Marina DeBris, who is campaigning against ocean pollution. To generate awareness for the problem she creates garments from garbage found in the ocean or at the beach. The video below gives a nice little sneak peak of her art.

Where can you see this? 

If you are by any chance in Sydney, then definitely visit her exhibition at the Bondi Pavilion Gallery at Sydney's Bondi Beach. And hurry, as you only have until the 17th of Septmeber to do so!
