It’s a conservation conversation starter; garbage turned into a gorgeous wrap. Women Wildlife photographers, brought together by Ottawa-born photographer Clare Hodgetts, are sharing their stunningly beautiful photographs, printed on soft, flowy fabric made from 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles. Clare Hodgetts, is the co-founder of InFocus Canada, and is the fashion force behind printing the glorious landscapes and breathtakingly beautiful wildlife images into wearable art . The Mission is to raise money for important charities through sustainable fashion and to spread awareness of the exceptional and beautiful work being done by professional photographers, says Hodgetts. These stunning scarves are part of InFocus Canada’s Athena Collection.
