Instagram Page Fashion Biologique is Capturing the Connection Between Nature and Fashion

Nature has an impact on every aspect of the world around us, including the clothes we wear. Jill Sherman noticed there’s a curious connection between fashion and the natural world, and she decided to chronicle the similarities she witnessed on the Instagram page Fashion Biologique.

Sherman fell in love with nature at a young age, thanks to one of her grade school teachers whose classroom look like a “mad scientist” lab and who always encouraged his students to ask a lot of questions.

Her Instagram bio reads, “My father took my Vogue away, so I read the encyclopedia instead”, and there’s some truth to that because she spent her evening reading Encyclopedia Britannica instead of watching TV.

Sherman developed an interest in fashion in her teens and quickly noticed textures, forms, and patterns she spotted in fashion magazines seemed familiar.

After years of looking for a connection between nature and fashion, she decided to start an Instagram page where she’s posting runway looks next to their flora and fauna lookalikes, in the hope they’ll help people find a new appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

“I get lost in my head just thinking about the beauty of it all. There is so much inspiration in the natural world that most people simply aren’t aware of. Fashion is one of those places you often see biology and art merge in perfect harmony,” she told Dazed.
