From countryside to catwalk, teen designer takes on prejudice

A Thai teenager is elevating everyday items of rural life to the catwalk to challenge entrenched prejudice among the Bangkok elite.

The items include skirts made from bamboo chicken cages and billowy dresses crafted from mosquito nets.

Apichet Atilattana, a 16-year-old from Khon Kaen in Thailand's northeastern rice bowl region, launched his designs on Facebook.
