So I discovered eyebrow pencil. Why did no one tell me about this before? You can just draw on younger eyebrows. Genius. Also this lipstick is suppsedly eco but it’s basically like a felt tip pen & I supsect it of harbouring unnatural dyes. Watch out am going to start putting rouge on my ears like @dvdianavreeland next...
Respect is right. Congratulations to this guy @tizianoguardini for his commitment to sustainable fashion innovation. Tiziano won the Franca Sozzani Green Carpet Challenge Award for Best Emerging Talent at the @ecoage #greencarpetawards last year. This season he worked with @econylbrand , sustainable @iskodenim & a yarn made from castor oil to create an elevated sportif collection that really sang. I snapped this backstage after he’d swapped the customary bow for an energetic victory lap of the runway (which was covered in grass). Loved your show, Tiziano 💚♻️ #sustainabilityeditor @vogueaustralia
This woman is an excellent woman @chloechill ⚡️🌟 plus she has educated me about the Milan bus system #publictransportfashionistas #sustainabilityeditor #frontrow 🚍💚
I loved her even before she turned up in her pyjamas. Me & @hermajestymora @helsinkifashionweekofficial checking out the new green design talents at our friend @saramaino_vt ‘s awesome @vogueitalia event. So much new thinking goodness from designers reinventing the game - will share tmrw. ❤️ #voguetalents #whoisonnext #greenisthenewblack #sustainabilityeditor
Just having a quick rest in this ivy, if that’s alright with you? Wearing scarf I once got free from a @paulacademartori show & organic cotton stripes from @arketofficial - I bought this dress in Copenhagen when it was insanely hot & I’d packed for cool. That is exactly the sort of packing fail/whim shop I don’t aporove of but we’re all human, eh? And I do like this dress, very useful & classic. Arket is part of the H&M Group, which some of you, I know, will tut-tut at, but I like this new brand’s transparency ethos. You can read all about the different fabrics & mills & factories used for each garment. Also, am feeling smug that didn’t drink on plane & skin looks not too shit after smothering in half a tub of moisturiser 😘
Yikes, right? But the thing I take away most from this is how much denim I see in charity shops (which is where I scored my current favourite Gap jeans). I’m actually not much of a jeans person, but most people have multiple pairs. Did you know that we wear jeans on average 3.5 days a week❓THAT’s HALF OUR LIVES SPENT IN DENIM❗️But it looks like we’re not treasuring our jeans as much anymore. We’re buying heaps more new. The GLOBAL DENIM MARKET is is estimated to generate US$ 129.8 billion in retail sales by 2021. According to retail technology company Edited, the first half of 2017 saw the women’s jeans market grow by 79 percent compared to the first half of 2016. Is growth good (jobs) or bad (waste & are all those jobs good jobs?) Or shades of grey? What to do? Buy responsibly made jeans & wear them in. KEEP WEARING THEM! Jonesing for a fast denim fix? Get thee to the op shop, my friends. It’s #denim nirvana in there, guilt-free ❤️ Pic reposted from @dahldesign_style (thank you for the inspo!) & @fashiontakesaction #wardrobecrisis #thriftstorefinds #sustainabilityeditor
I suck at selfies. This is my make-it-stop face. Flashback to @copenhagenfashionsummit with my mate @sarahjaystyle
