Alice Partelpoeg, a design student, has created a bee-inspired dress called The Hum Between in collaboration with Dior and the Institut Français de la Mode. This educational project, which is not commercially driven, highlights the vulnerability of bees due to intensive agriculture and chemical use.

The dress symbolizes the plight of honeybees in today's agricultural landscape. Partelpoeg explained that the design encourages reflection on the relationship between humans and bees, emphasizing the need to maintain ecosystem balance. Its construction mimics the natural geometry of a beehive, enveloping the body while showcasing hexagonal patterns that create an organic silhouette.
