This dress expresses the fierce attitude of the natural world for the modern women to embrace. It is constructed entirely from recycled leather and scrap fabric for the lining. My uncle had found a hide of leather deep in storage. I was inspired to utilize the otherwise wasted piece of material to breath new life into it's existence. Combined with the energy and ferocious attitude of a panther painted directly on the surface, the leather is given a new life, full spirited.
