Sustainable fashion
Working on this shoot to come out in Eliza Magazine Winter 09/10. Here is a sneak peak of one of my favorites.
What is Sustainability you might ask, well in a broad sense, it is the capacity to endure. For us humans that means the product has potential or long-term improvements in the wellbeing, which in turn depend on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources. For the fashion world think about making handmade products, or not shipping that garment to multiple manufactures or shipping a garment at all to get made. Also the fabrics and pieces that make that product where are they coming from and how are they made. Sometimes it is about less packaging, shipping, waste or reuse of a product. Like much of the jewelry we used in this shoot was reuse, taking an old object and making it cool or fitting of the present. More to come when the issue comes out.
