Sustainable fashionistas who inspire me #2 @biancaspender with models in her @fash_rev collection for @davidjonesstore ❤️ you Bianca #fashioncommunity #fashionrevolutionweek
For the next week I'm going to spam you with love for some of the beautiful sustainable fashion humans who inspire my work, starting with Kim from @slumwear108 - who doesn't even use the word sustainable but who, nevertheless, embodies the idea for me ❤️#sustainablefashion #fashioncommunity #fashionrevolutionweek ❤️Also, if you are in Sydney, you can come & hang with us & talk about circularity during @vividsydney on June 16th. And you should! Tix via Vivid website.
Thanks for having me on @triplejhack & ABC News ❤️ @avanidias 's thoughtprovoking story about fake vs real fur also featured @wellmadeclothes_ & @unreal_fur 🎤 Real fur is falling out of fashion after the likes of @gucci @versace @donnakaran @netaporter have all sworn off it. I wrote about fashion & fur in #wardrobecrisis & my reluctance to wear my old flea market vintage fur coat now I know what I know. But I do have a cruelty-free pink fake fur jacket... only we are aware of the problems of plastic microfibres, I'm not keen on that either... I want my clothes to be kind. #itscooltocare
As they say, "Same, same but made different." Congratulations to @outlanddenim for receiving A+ rating from the 5th Ethical Fashion Report by Baptist World Aid Australia, which has graded 114 apparel companies (407 brands) from A-F on the systems they have in place to uphold the rights of workers. The criteria are complex but one of the big things is paying a Living Wage, which basically no one does unless they're fair trade certified brand. Outland, which provides training & ethical work opportunities for women who've escaped the sex trade in Cambodia, is the exception (along with @icebreakernz ) 👖 I've long been a fan of Outland & will be telling their story in a future episode of the #wardrobecrisispodcast 💋🎧
Diary date: Earth Day is April 22 🌏If you're in New York, there's loads of great stuff happening at The Tishman Environment & Design Center at @thenewschool 🌎 Thinking back on how lucky I was to launch #wardrobecrisis there in February & meet so many inspirational eco fashionistas. Can't believe it's been 2 months already. Here's me at the event with Nina from @fashionkind_ (check out her site - it's fab) 🌍 What are you doing to celebrate & protect our beautiful planet on Sunday? 💚
Congratulations to @eslim_ recipient of the very first UTS Carla Zampatti Foundation Design Award & to the brilliant finalists @guzman & @__lilyxu ⭐️✨💫 thank you for having me @awprofficial @utsfashion Carla is so wonderful supporting the #nextgeneration of #australiandesigners
