See Hiša Franko's New Sustainable Uniforms

A chef's creativity doesn't begin and end with food. Ana Roš, whose Hiša Franko restaurant in Slovenia recently won two Michelin stars, is proof that ideas and invention can go beyond the kitchen. 

This time she has teamed up with fashion designer and environmentalist Matea Benedetti to create a collection of sustainable uniforms for her staff.

The floral pattern and nature-inspired design are what makes these uniforms unique, not to mention the materials used. "The uniforms are made entirely of non-animal textiles," says a statement from Hiša Franko. "Men's jackets and polo T-shirts are made of 100% organic cotton (GOTS certified), digitally printed on a water basis. Women's clothing is made of viscose, printed with motifs of meadow plants and animals, from butterflies to dragonflies, ferns, poppies, and dandelions. The sommelier’s clothing is adorned with a pattern of vines and grapes. The colour palette is in natural, warm shades, reflecting the warmth of Hiša Franko’s interior. All T-shirts are made of ECOVERO fabric, which is based on a wood frame and is 100% biodegradable. Female motifs are floral, while males are adorned with dragonflies. All clothes are made locally. Sustainable, animal friendly, and unique."
