Speaking of Nirina and rice-sack looking dresses, she must've loved them sooo much, she decided to wear a real rice sack.



Since she left MTV Indonesia (was laid-off, to be exact), Nirina has so much free time on her hand, she started becoming a part-time eco-friendly designer (i.e. to release her creativity and show her awareness to the environment). One of her creations is this 100% natural peasant dress, made from burlap aka karung goni, dyed in real horse solid waste and adorned with rice and red beans.

Simply genius, Nirina! I'm voting for you as the recipient of 2006 Kalpataru Award.
