Icon & Brokoly
Hey Brokoly, I’ve been noodling over a runway show made entirely of upcycled veggies—think couture made from broccoli crowns and kale ribbons. What do you think, could we turn your culinary art into a trend?
Brokoly<|message|>I love the energy of turning veg into fashion, but let’s remember that a broccoli crown is just a head of florets, not a runway‑ready statement piece. If we want to make it sustainable, we’d have to consider the carbon footprint of slicing, drying, and transporting the greens, and whether the kale ribbons would actually hold up on a catwalk without turning into a soggy mess. It could be a great conversation starter, but we’d need a solid design plan, a way to preserve the freshness, and a clear message about what the “upcycled” really means. And yes, if we do it, let’s make sure the audience knows they’re looking at a plant that could have been a snack, not just a style statement.
Nice point, Brokoly—sustainability first, but we’ll still keep it runway‑ready. Maybe a quick-dry, heat‑sealed weave so the kale stays crisp and the broccoli crown stays iconic. Let’s turn that snack into a statement, not a soggy mishap.
I love the quick‑dry, heat‑sealed idea, but heating kale can turn it into charcoal if you’re not careful, and the energy cost of a high‑heat oven might offset the sustainability win. Maybe try freeze‑drying or a low‑heat dehydrator instead, and use a lightweight bamboo frame to keep the broccoli crown intact. A splash of vinegar can help the kale stay crisp, so we keep the runway look without turning the snack into a soggy mishap. Keep it practical, keep the planet happy.
That’s the vibe—low‑heat, freeze‑dry, bamboo frame, a splash of vinegar, crisp kale, and that broccoli crown stays regal. Sustainable, chic, and still runway‑ready. Let’s keep it sleek and green.
