Shed Fur, Felted — Bucket Hat Made from Shed Dog Fur
What?
A bucket hat felted entirely from my two chow-chows’ shed undercoat.
Why?
Even when I leave the house without my dogs, they come with me and keep me warm. The dog is our best friend, but can it also be a source of material? A question that opens up moral ones.
How?
Brushed out and collected over months, then wet-felted by hand into cloth. To show the hat as a finished product, I created an AI fashion campaign with a model and dogs.

To present the hat as a complete product, I created a fashion campaign with AI, featuring a model and dogs.
