Autistic child creates clothing line to save animals

Post Reply New Topic

A young girl with autism has found an outlet through animals.

Eco Evie is a clothing line created by Evie Mutsch, who hopes to raise money to save the most endangered species around the globe.

The clothing is made entirely of water bottles.

The 9-year-old has an incredible knowledge of the most obscure animals. She listed off a few.

"Okapi's I like, Omer Leppard, Omer Tiger...,"she said.

Her goal is to raise awareness of what is happening around us saying, "Instead of all this destruction, this could put an end to it."

With the help of her mother, Evie creates patterns on hoodies, shirts, pants and dresses.

Her next creation may soon help animals affected by Australia's bushfires.

"Koalas, this is a fascinating part, they have the same fingerprint as we do!" said Evie.

Evie was diagnosed with autism at 2½ years old.

This past fall, Evie strutted her stuff on the catwalk for her second fashion show
