MACHETE

Epic image of the year so far goes to Amanda Palmer, wearing Rachel Freire on the cover of her new single Machete. The gown is one of two showpiece couture gowns from SS11 remade from WWII parachutes. The collection is titled 'the girl I never was' and this is EXACTLY how it is meant to be worn.
