New Zealand Girl Creates Entire Gown From Mango Pits to Shed Light on Food Waste
A New Zealand student is raising awareness for food waste and sustainability with a crafty project: She made a beautiful gown from mango seed pits and showcased it for a class project.
Jessica Collins, 18, used the seed husks from over 700 Calypso mangoes to craft a full-length ivory dress you would never imagine is made from something from your produce section.
“It smells like dried mango, if anything, because we dried all the seeds out,” Jessica said in an interview with CBC, adding that she smells “like a walking mango” when she wears the dress.
