Farmyard inspiration:

A young woman who grew up on a farm in Northern Ireland is enjoying newfound celebrity for her fashion design. To create her clothing, Rachel Irwin uses material that most people would throw out. For example, old mats, holiday wreaths, and bird feathers wind up in her designs. She’s even used fertilizer bags and the fluff from a cow’s tail, all of which are cleaned and sterilized by her mom. She named one of her designs “Farmyard Fashion.” Irwin has won prizes for her work and is looking forward to a career in the fashion industry.
