On the 2nd of May, Annie and Ellie dressed Matthew Flowers, Director of the internationally wondrous Flowers gallery, as Little Miss sustainable at the Alternative Miss World.
Brainchild of the fabulous sculptor Andrew Logan, people dress in 3 costumes based on the format of Miss World. Daywear swimwear and Evening wear outfits are vehicles for the most extravagant and 'health and safety unconscious' expressions of revelry and joy.
Have a look at our costumes! Swimwear uses non renewable resources or 'technical nutrients' as Michael Braungart and William McDonnough call them, in thier seminal book Cradle to Cradle (remaking the way we make things) This illustrates the need for each of us to have access to potable water resources where-ever we are on the planet.
Evening wear is totally bodegradable and illustrates Michael and Williams commitment to appropriate recycling of out renewable resources, otherwise known as biological nutrients.
Annie's mission is to show that eco design is glamourous and glorious and doesn't have to destroy the planets resources in the process. Little Miss Sustainable is about sustainable happiness.
Matthew told the comperes, Ruby Wax and Andrew Logan, that she wanted a mandate to talk to world leaders about eco design, and that she was little because it is making little differences that matters.
