#HomeCouture is the gloriously extra DIY trend taking over Instagram right now
If there's one positive thing to come out of this whole staying home business, it's the relatable af hashtags trending on social media. First there was #DressUpFriday, and now we have an all-week-long corker, #HomeCouture. Yup, people around the world are coming together for the most random but heartwarming reason: craving an occasion to wear something other than tracksuits.
It all started when George Serventi (@skipdin) took to Instagram to share his recreation of a Comme Des Garçons runway look using bin bags:

A riff of 'Haute Couture' - the most extra fashion week of all - '#HomeCouture' encourages folks to get crafty with items they have lying around the house.
Another favourite of ours? When George challenged himself to recreate a hot pink Molly Goddard couture dress, the kind worn by Rihanna, using pink tissue paper:
