It's Fashion Revolution Week so why not get in the spirit and look through your wardrobe to find clothes that you don't want anymore, don't fit, or need mending. Create something new and unique from these, something that shows off your personality and is made for YOU 💚 Here are some things that you could try: 1) The draping method - This is where you drape the fabric or clothes and move them around until a vision starts to form. 2) Embellishing - Maybe the reason you don't wear that pair of jeans is because you find them too plain. Why not try adding some embroidered flowers and give them a 70's vibe 🌸 3) Cut it and use it as straight fabric. If the arms of a top are hindering your creativity then cut them off. Start from scratch. If you want to learn more ways to repurpose clothing or other things like a broken bowl or want to learn the skills to mend items, then click the link to book one or more of our workshops 🧵 https://ow.ly/9gzk50RjGCG #WasteLessLiveMore #Remakeadifference #FashionRevolutionWeek #FashionWeek #Sustainability #Sustainable #Edinburgh #Scotland #UK #UnitedKingdom #Charity #SocialEnterprise

What can we do for Fashion Revolution Week? 🌱 We all have a favorite piece in our closet that we no longer wear because it's outdated or simply doesn't fit anymore. It would be such a waste to donate this beautiful piece to charity. What to do? 🌟 I present here an "Upcycling" design idea of a too narrow blouse that can be transformed into a loose-fit shirt. What if fashion brands received an upcycling idea from us designers for each design and could pass it on to their customers? #FashionRevolutionWeek #FashionRevolution #Upcycling #SustainableFashionDesign #SustainableFashion #SlowFashion #SustainableFashionBrands"

One of the less discussed (yet important) matters regarding #fashion and #sustainability is the truth that people change size (and even shape) during their lifetime. Sometimes this is influenced by lifestyle and exercise or forced (e.g. pregnancy)… yet the point is this… it can make your clothing collection redundant, particularly if you’re going up in sizes, well before these items are worn out. Now, as January is a month when many of us traditionally seek to lose weight (or in my case try to maintain my existing size so I don’t suffer the hassle or expense of buying replacements), this blog is perhaps timely and well worth a read. Buying new, as option number one, is no longer in fashion. Why not save money and be more eco-friendly? It’s a no brainer. #sustainabilitymatters
Founder, My Secret Stylist. Creating your perfect wardrobe with outfits that make you feel beautiful. The future of fashion retailing.
New Year, New Body? If you have lost or are in the process of losing weight, it’s more than likely your favourite clothes no longer fit you. Whilst the thought of new clothes may be exciting, it can also be very costly. Setting aside the environmental benefits of not buying new clothes (fashion is responsible for 10% of all global carbon emissions), why not invest a little time in upcycling the clothes you loved once and fall in love with them once again. Check out my blogs for tips, including how to turn charity shop finds into boutique chic that will turn heads of friends and strangers alike. https://lnkd.in/eRDBbxY4 #weightloss #upcycling #fashion #newwardrobe #charityshopfinds #imagestylist #fashionstylist #vintagefashion #boutiquefashion #uniquefashion #lovemyclothes #mysecretstylist #designerclothes #cristinaholm #bodyconfidence

Historian caught in the act of turning ideas into relevant words and solid numbers (aka grant writing)
With such clarity.
Part 1: The fashion problem… Can you see the shaking as I tell #TheStoryOfADress? Where all of our #garments come from, and the harm it causes to people and the planet... I have learned so much by watching TEDx speakers, and so it made me shake with excitement to be one. Have you ever wondered how many countries a garment visits before it gets to you? How many underpaid pairs of hands might have worked on it, and how many pieces of plastic were used to wrap it? Here is a clip that might help to enlighten us all. We need to know, it’s only fair. Keep an 👁out for Part 2, where I discuss how fashion can become a #ClimateSolution... DIRT Charity Fashion Revolution

Very interesting video to watch. The story of a dress gives a behind the scenes perspective of what we are buying. Check carefully when it says a very good deal. Excellent video à regarder. L’histoire d’une robe présente l’arrière scène de ce que nous achetons. Faites attention lorsque ça vous semble in excellent deal.

Amazing how destructive can the story of ONE DRESS be. Please let's make using second-hand fashionable again. And then, let's do this same exercise for buildings. #circulareconomy #circulardesign
