Future of the Environment

Fashion's hot new trend: clothes you don't need to wash (very often)

Dresses and skirts are seen hanging inside a stadium, in an art exhibition titled "Thinking of You" by Kosovo-born, London-based artist Alketa Xhafa-Mripa, in Pristina June 12, 2015.  Dresses and skirts donated by Cherie Blair and Rita Ora were among 5,000 pegged to washing lines in the Kosovo stadium on Friday in the art installation drawing attention to the stigma suffered by victims of wartime sexual violence.
