Nestboxes for birds get a fashion makeover - in pictures

Zandra Rhodes says of her design: 'Nature is amazing, I have often taken inspiration from our rich wildlife for my designs. It nurtures us all, and we need to nurture nature in return. It’s wonderful that so many designers are taking part in this project – to celebrate our wildlife, and encourage everyone to give nature a home where they can' Photograph: RSPB

I have found inspiration and huge joy in nature throughout my life, and this a great opportunity to share that joy. I really hope it encourages everyone to help look after nature and to give nature a home in their gardens or even on their windowsills' Photograph: RSPB

Julien Macdonald said: 'When I was asked to create a nestbox for the RSPB it didn’t take me long to say "yes" – nowadays there is a real appetite in the fashion industry to think green. Protecting the environment and the wildlife it provides a home for is something I feel passionately about. I am so glad other designers have joined together to send this important message to the fashion world and beyond' Photograph: RSPB

British fashion designer Giles Deacon, well-known for his playful designs, said: 'I love to make time to support good causes, and the UK’s wildlife is a cause that really needs our help. It’s fabulous that so many designers have got behind this idea – it’s a really great way to get us all thinking about how we can make a home for nature on our back doorstep. It’s fun and makes the world a better, more beautiful place – just like fashion!' Photograph: RSPB
