Either its fashion or food, when cooked at home, it’s distinctively close-to-the-heart. The ‘Cooked’ Shirts by Etro, using run of the mill eatables are a testament to it. All you need is a white shirt and a nose to sniff some good quality coffee beans and blueberries.
The project features three distinct styles to morph your classy white shirt into a fashion statement, all in the comfort of your Kitchen, and pockets of course. These reworked shirts stamp the charm and exclusivity of DIY fashion, with no compromise with style at all.
Have you ever thought that those slippery coffee nuggets you play with on your kitchen shelves can create some interesting fashion, besides long nights, sexual drive and all? Of course they can. All you need to do is to grind some 900 grams of coffee beans and prepare 6 liters of coffee and immerse your white cotton shirt into the mixture fully. Let the shirt soak for 8 hours and hang it to dry.
If fawn doesn’t interest you much, then try blueberries. Garner a kilogram of blueberries and form a layer of them with 200gms of sugar in an ovenproof baking dish. Pour 150 ml of blueberry juice over the bottom layer of berries and sugar. Fold the shirt and place it on the blueberry layer in the baking dish. Further cover the shirt with remaining berries and 200gms of more sugar. Pour 150ml of blueberry juice over the shirt and berries. Bake in preheated oven at a temperature of 170 degrees for about 40 minutes. Finally remove the shirt from oven and hang it on a hanger to let it cool.
The very last of the three DIY processes is to cook a shirt in salt. This time you need some 6 kilograms of coarse cooking salt and pour it into an ovenproof baking dish to form a 1 cm thick layer. Fold the shirt and place it on the top of the layer in the dish. Completely cover the shirt with remaining cooking salt and bake it in the oven at the temperature of 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. Afterwards remove the shirt and let it cool.
