Batwing Ginkgo Chaps

Based on the changing of the seasons and the forms of the Western Batwing Chaps, this leg-guard is made out of fallen ginkgo leaves. With the emergent trend of sustainability in fashion, longevity plays an important role in this transition. A shift in the speed of fashion has to resemble the speed of the natural world in order to have a maintainable system. Targeting both the values of high fashion, and more expressly utilitarian uses, the possibility of something similar may not be as far off as it seems.
