Feathers cover the streets of Wellington

Self-Grown Footwear, A Global Growth

Fashion designers have overcome the animal skin law by teaming with scientists to create Harvest, the personalised leather skin sticker.

Harvest, a project that started in Wellington has heavily influenced the fashion industry through their explorative research of leech properties and artificially grown skin textures.

The formation of self-grown footwear has been a huge hit globally as people in all different areas have attached Harvest’s skin sticker to grow their own footwear. Such extreme examples can be seen in different countries due to climate and functionality.

Some fashion critics have said the idea to be returning to the “cave-man effect” homosapien fashion were functionality controls fashion. The grower has full control over how dramatic the experience. Feathers now cover the streets of Wellington in spring when the fashion community sheds their layers at the end of the cold winter and expose their toes for ventilation in the warm Wellington summers.

Niquita Coats-Harrison, the brains behind the operation take pride in the individuality the citizens of Wellington have grown. Variations between the bohemian culture of Cuba street to Lampton Quay and Courtney place have become very prominent between the wild growth of different feathers to hardwearing skin, shells and sleek sparkling scales to boast their natural beauty. The natural animal instincts have returned while we are continually in the age of shameless self promotion.

Online store, Hunters and collectors buy and sell vintage Harvest footwear which being one of a kind are high in price for the delicate cocoons once taken care of before shed and sold. Students of Victoria University use this as a great way of making extra cash while studying as a pair of shoes can be grown in around four months now. This is compared to the eight months the skin took to grow before the digital genetic engineering system came into effect.

Harvest is currently developing new and different ways of construction and de-construction. Their virtual site would value your feedback and photos of your personalised skin growth could win you the new model that is to be released on the 20th June 2041.
