Potato Sack Couture Collections

Idaho Potato Commission Presents the Haute Potato Collection

The Idaho Potato Commission presented the Haute Potato Collection during New York Fashion Week. This couture line immediately captured attention as it was constructed entirely from authentic burlap Idaho potato sacks. Staged within Grand Central Terminal, the presentation of the Haute Potato Collection transformed an agricultural shipping material into sculptural evening wear, tailored suiting, and architectural gowns worn by models.

The Haute Potato Collection was designed by Cartier Dior Eliasen, a designer raised in Idaho potato farming country who previously appeared on Project Runway Junior. Her work draws inspiration from the 1951 moment when Marilyn Monroe was photographed in a potato sack.

The Idaho Potato Commission's presentation at New York Fashion Week also had a charitable component, with select potato sack designs being auctioned and funds being directed to No Kid Hungry.
