First of all, Ami Vitale might be the nicest person in the world.
Secondly, she’s obviously one of the most talented photographers in the world (and the fact that she’s a PhotoShelter user makes it all the more sweet). So much so that the people over at Nature Conservancy commissioned her to capture the work of renown designers Yves Behar, Stephen Burks, Hella Jongerius, Maya Lin, Christien Meindersma, Isaac Mizrahi, Abbott Miller, Ted Muehling, Paulina Reyes and Ezri TaraziIt. This traveling exhibit, entitled Design for a Living World, takes residence at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York City from May 14, 2009 through Jan 4, 2010.
Here’s a little snippet from the press release that caught my eye:
“Mizrahi who turned Alaskan salmon skin–typically a waste product of the salmon industry–into a dress that references the scales of the fish from which it was made”
Here’s a couple of teaser images for ya.
