These creations are inspired by iconic designs from international fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen, Cristóbal Balenciaga, and Coco Chanel, and have previously been featured in the 'Ciudad de la Verdura' fashion shows.

These 16 unique pieces are part of the collection of the Museo de la Verdura de Calahorra, a singular institution dedicated to vegetables in Spain, and this marks their first exhibition outside of their home museum.
