« Designer Hats Literally Made from Roadkill »
Roberta Kyle, Senior Editor | Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 7:22AM source
Scottish designer, James Falkner, brought new meaning to the expression ” fashion roadkill” last spring by exhibiting 36 fur and feather hats that were literally made from roadkill. Falkner, a student at Edinburgh’s Telford College, got the idea after finding a dead bird in the middle of the road. Oh well, creativity takes many forms.
After a bit of a flurry around the show last May, Falkner seems to have disappeared from view. I’m wondering what happened to the hats becuase they were kind of cool.

Ewwwwww..... As for your question, Falkner may have succumbed to one of the many infections/diseases one can get from handling decomposing birds and animals. The only thing that should be done with roadkill (after donning rubber gloves and mask) is place it in the nearest dumpster.
Hmmmm I'm hoping he wore gloves LOL-- but I really do kinda like the hats I must say and talk about "green"
