Jane Bowler Fusion Collection

Shower Curtain Convert?

> I have actual antipathy towards shower curtains, thankfully I have a shower door, but I just find them unhygienic and I dread the horrible moment when they stick to you, whilst having a shower. So bewilderingly enough what do I stumble upon..?  Designer Jane Bowler creating a new spin on rain-coats using re-cycled plastics including shower curtains. Jane uses outlandish indecorous items to inspire her to create innovative and desirable items.

Serious rain protection from this faux mo-hawk coloured glossy head piece, most likely to cause dancing in the rain.
Jane brings "longevity to materials, which come from a London post-use scrap facility, transforming plastics from old bath mats and shower curtains" into witty fashion pieces.
Innovative collection and concept, though it still wont ease my antipathy towards shower curtains an inch.

  1. I am not a fan of shower curtains either! Lucky, our bathroom in our new apartment has glass sliding doors for the shower. So even though the designs are interesing, just the look of this shower curtain plastic makes me cringe :o/

  2. It's a great idea of re-using items and plastics, but the first photo the plastic hood looks a colour of dirt. Maybe it is because I know its a shower curtain haha.
