Sustainable and Oh-So-Stylish Certified
With the media’s on-going pursuit to shine the spotlight on the fashion industries appalling impact on the environment, it comes to no surprise that brands are actioning the crucial steps towards sustainable manufacturing and the distribution of their goods. After all, 85% of all textiles in Australia alone end up in landfill each year… quite a confronting statistic!
So, with many fashion labels consciously improving their ethical and sustainable performance, as stylists and consumers, it is our obligation to seek out and support such brands…. Which by now I’m sure you have guessed, I have already done and will continue to use my platform to bring you ever-so-stylish looks that are guilt free!
Let’s begin with an Australian designer that ensures sustainable fabrications and fair working conditions are an intrinsic part of their brand, with the majority of their products produced right here in Australia… oh and did I mention they are accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA)?... And while this brands product production is in line with eco-friendly practices, they also design timeless garments that complement your wardrobe, gain their cost-per-wear and never lose their allure.
So with this said allow me to curate a look for YOUR aesthetic with a refreshingly relaxed dress from this brand, for the everyday that effortlessly translates in an array of settings and seasons.
Beginning with the hero piece…. a simplistic strapless silhouette made from a muted sage green natural fabric. The material gently flows into a layered handkerchief hem…. a cut revolutionised by Madeleine Vionnet, an innovative fashion designer who influenced the use of diagonal and bias cuts by re-creating the lost technique, allowing the fabric to sway in motion with each movement of the body. The dress is finished with a waist cinching belt to give shape and embrace the female form.
To enhance the hue, accessorize with tan-tones. Simply slip into a pair of lace-up fine strappy sandals and sling on a bucket-bag to add a structural element to the look. Before heading out the door, slide on a pair of chicly sleek rectangle tortoise shell frames to amp-up your look with practicality.
Once the Autumn weather rolls in, layer the look with a light weight beige blazer, a staple that will tirelessly carry you through seasons to come. Style undone, pushing up the sleeves for a look that is polished yet effortless.
To elevate the look glide on Vionnet Queen of BC, a UMUN Jewellery Studio design inspired by the visionary herself, crafted in Australia by the hands of an Australian artisan. Shaped in rose gold and platinum, the metal cradles a moody deep yellow and blue parti trilliant sapphire, ethically sourced in Northern Queensland.
The ring’s form follows a clean free-flowing point altering convention, bringing a modern uniqueness to the design. Your eye drifts along the tranquil rose gold edge, for a rendezvous with the delightfully perplexing trilliant stone…. a stone whose sides are reminiscent of the askew linear movement of a Vionnet bias cut.
When styled together, espy a defining moment of indivisible unity, for the ensemble achieves pure harmony in its completeness…. for a responsible look that lasts.
