Michelle Obama’s stylist, fur-free and down with uncomfortable bras.
Hello everyone!
I have been travelling a lot these past few weeks in the US. It’s nice to be at home now and catch up on the news in the sustainable fashion world. One of the first things I did when I got home was to reserve my adopted Christmas tree! If anyone is reading from The Netherlands, then check out this company. You can get the same real tree year after year without the hassle of replanting it yourself.
I’ve put together another collection of sustainable fashion reading for you from around the web this week. The articles include sustainable fashion news, diversity in the fashion industry, fashion history and a small documentary series that showcases artisans and their lives.
