  • Earth Matters – remember that fashion world.

    Earth Matters – remember that fashion world.

    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.

  • Hear, hear! My thoughts on the Fashion Revolution week

    The Fashion Revolution week is timeless

    I buy clothing and I certainly complete my outfit with elegant accessories that make me look good. It feels great to be stylish. Greater feeling, when I know the designer or brand has ethical standards. That all the process from production to delivery is transparent. Making sure the people involved in the production earned their fair wages in good working conditions.

    Since the tragic event of Rana Plaza, the secret of cheap clothing on fast fashion is revealed. Plenty of reasons for the fashion industry to become aware of waste disposal, carbon releases, poor working conditions, human and animal rights. All these issues are important to the feel good: mind, body, and spirit. The planet also benefits from this feel. The world is better, and you look and feel beautiful.
