Inspired by the need to help people and the world (or rather, “by hope and good people”), EcoBling was founded and is doing just that. Katie, the founder and CEO of the Australian company, explained to me the beautiful pieces made from the earthquake rubble in Nepal. Among this project, EcoBling supports many others. The beautiful upcycled pieces on models with flowing, simple white gowns dancing down the runway on November 2nd- reminded me of angels adorned in holy jewellery. I find that image extremely appropriate. :)

What we call eco friendly fashion now WAS the norm in western cultures prior to the industrial revolution - it only made sense to “shop local”, reuse every piece of material, and to have items that were going to last for potentially generations; nobody is going to be handing down their favourite Forever21 blouse to their granddaughter, because they’re not supposed to - they are to buy six more the next time the store is stocked, and toss them out, too (after, like, three washes- come on!). In many cultures, it is still the norm to reuse all materials and to create locally, simply because their economy only allows that- but sustainable clothing is readily available, unlike here in Vancouver, for example. We are so blessed, however, to have so many donated clothes at our reach; Value Village never runs out. The 8.1 Challenge - where up and coming designers created pieces from 8.1lbs of material from Value Village, showcased on November 3rd at Canvas, was one beautiful example of skill, creativity, and possibility.

Visually stunning - each collection of designer pieces had a story to tell; the vibrations were high, and bright with love. Sustainable fashion is certainly on the same level as haute couture, in regards to the skill and love needed to create one piece, such as the fascinating collections seen at this years’ EcoFashion Week, held in Seattle’s Canvas Event Space.

Fashion and Design has been a passion of Henry Wanjala's from a tender age; attributes he got from his dear late mom who was a designer, and renowned tailor in Nairobi, Kenya. He is one of the founders of the Kenyan Boys Choir, a group he has been designing their costumes for the past 6 years. Henry's collection ‘PERIS’, is inspired by his late mom. The pieces are made of recycled crotchet and traditional trays made out of reeds.

Fioravanti - Seattle is functional, it layers and it's a work-together and stand alone line. This line stays steady with small changes here and there to make it better, more functional and stylish. In addition to that work, they also add limited edition pieces in fabrics that are found along the way, and those things are usually only available in their studio. Staying true to the initial ideal, that is, honoring heritage yet remaining relevant to the times, is what inspires Mia and Wysdom Fioravanti.

VYAYAMA, the Sanskrit word to move, was founded with the intention of providing a natural alternative to synthetic yoga wear, because we believe that mindfulness shouldn’t compromise style. Botanical intelligence. VYAYAMA uses TENCEL®, a naturally plant based fabric that is made from sustainably farmed eucalyptus trees. The pulp is processed in an energy efficient, close-looped plant, meaning that all solvents and water are recycled.
