Today marks a pretty sombre day in Fashion's history, we remember those that died so you can all look fabulous, ' Who made your clothes?' yeah actually do you know how many hands have touched that garment before it ended up on your back, no-one really does!!!! Today we ask for that to change as it's Fashion Revolution Day and together we can use the power of fashion to catalyse change and
reconnect the broken links in the supply chain.
Wear your clothes
inside-out to help start the beginning of an industry-wide
transformation towards a more sustainable future.
Show us your inside out clothes on Instagram by tagging it @Fash_Rev and #InsideOut
We have an event happening at our atelier tonight, come and get #InsideOut with us from 6-9pm Trident House, 40 Jetty St, Dunedin, NZ.

We are collecting donations in return for polaroids to go to the Rana Plaza Disaster Fund
http://www.ranaplaza-arrangement.org/fund
Our flags will be at half mast in rememberance of those who passed one year ago today.
Also I am in the process of collecting labels from garments for a little project so if you wanted to leave your label behind I would most appreciate it!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you #InsideOut tonight Dunedin. Come get amongst!!!!!

iD XV environmentally!!!!
Wow it's over and I am now rested but not yet recovered as life is now moving at FAST PACE go GO GO!!!!!!!!
It's really strange to be part of such a large fashion event when your moral and ethical standing is somewhat different from those that surround you!!!! I believe it's time for change and the systemic values that underwrite this profession need to be examined and transpired into an ethically sustainable version.
I am still awaiting my photos to arrive, It's like a test of the postal system every time someone sends something as no one seems capable of finding my address. I am kinda in an awkward place under the bridge and all but still ace, got some excellent grafitti over the weekend Gyftd apparently likes pink and my building!!!! yus!!! PLUS I am on the corner.

haha just googled my building and it has both addresses so there postal cant find my building!!!!!!
anyway I digress, from an environmental perspective iD certainly isn't winning any awards but it does understand the need to minimise waste which is a start in itself. From the Cooke Howlison sponsored fleet to the goody bag's on the seats it was kept tidy and under control, as iD is always a professionally run event. I commend the iD committee for their organisation and well run affair, they certainly know there way around a Fashion Week or XV.
I however still hold a more personal view that we need to create more transparency in our fashion system so that we can sustain a fashion system of the future. I was slightly disappointed that the national media still haven't caught onto the global trend towards a more sustainable fashion future as it's something I know for certain is the way forward in such a wasteful and environmentally unsustainable industry.
We are in the process of creating a national network of sustainable practitioners that can support the current wasteful fashion system into a more innovative and zero waste future. It is my hope that we will create a zero waste New Zealand and better understanding of our wasteful systems.
Peace.
