Countless times meeting people, and there is always a good story. So well, I share them when allowed to do it!

    Last month, here in the Netherlands was a check-to-reality for me, as a passionate fashion consumer and blogger. The theme of the #Dutchsustainablefashionweek this year was the circular economy. I was in the front-row at the catwalk opening. Designers Danya Wevers, Map Renes, Monique Collignon , Judith van Vliet en Hellen van Rees showed their amazing collection with the concept circular in mind.

    I was overwhelmed with their creations, everything was wearable and edgy. Some used luxe fabrics, others re-used invented or extracted from natural sources such as pineapple skin or salmon leather. Look at this, a luxe exposure of what fashion can be with no harm to living creatures or the environment. No waste, only grace!

    The exhibition “Earth Matters” at the Textile Museum in Tilburg is a call for me to keep admiring fashion designers and brand concepts that promote sustainability.

    The galleries of the museum were full of insightful content, with samples of botanical ingredients turned into a fashionable product without harming the environment.

    The use of botanical ingredients

    Conscient designers recycle, upcycles, collect and reinvent materials. Textiles are produced from natural ingredients such as pines needles discarded from millions of pine trees.
