"My mother passed away recently and I'd like to create a special memento of her life. "I found out my mother was ill in 2014 and from that point onward I began to collect her hair. "At the time I wasn't sure why I was collecting it, however, now I think I do."And although the woman acknowledges that the request is quite weird, no designer has picked up the challenge - but that doesn't mean one will. Alix Bizet is a designer who has previously worked hair into dresses, admitting to the Independent that the task isn't easy, he said it's also not as uncommon as you'd think.
"Hair is a highly emotional subject that for some people is closely linked to the identity of a person - like an extension of their existence. It can be almost spiritual," he revealed.
The English bride is offering £15,000 to anyone who will create the dress for her.
Hmmm, each to their own, eh?
