Recently, a 38-year-old farmer-turned-fashionista has been setting the streets on fire in Meishan, Sichuan province with his unique, “eco-friendly” designs.
For the past year or so, Dou Xiaogang has been creating fierce fashions out of everyday household items like pots and pans or bicycle tires and window curtains. He says that he wants to create designs that are not only beautiful, but also environmentally-friendly to wear.
