Japanese designer Oka Masako has been experimenting with eco-friendly fashion long before it graced the catwalk.
She uses soybeans, corn, bamboo and silk to make her creations, and is well known for her ecologically friendly fabrics.
Her signature is to create light, transparent clothes embroidered with flowers and leaves.
Masako began looking into organic textiles 13 years ago, so no-one can deny she's not fashion forward.
The designer said last month at Mexico’s Fashion Week: "I show the theme of ecology on my clothes to represent the sense of peace and calm nature has given me, It has more to do with a (personal) symbiosis"
She created the ECOMACO brand in 2003 and has since built up a reputable business, where her creations are not only biodegradable, but can be machine-washed too.
"They are clothes that can be used in everyday life. You can't even feel what you're wearing, they are like a second skin, she said. "If it’s good for the environment, it must be good for you as well."
