  • Wear the Earth.

    Wear the Earth.

    The one style that never goes out of season? Nature.


    Fashion is having a biophilic breakthrough. Brands like Stella McCartney, Iris van Herpen, and Solitude Studios are proving that clothing can be a love letter to our planet. From seaweed bags dyed with bog water to dresses crafted from ocean bi-products, these designers are reimagining fashion as an ecosystem, not just an industry.

    When fashion learns to mimic nature’s brilliance—its regenerative power, its zero-waste philosophy—we’re not just making clothes. We’re making change.

    The future of fashion grows, adapts, and heals. Just like nature.

    Solitude Studios

    Copenhagen’s Solitude Studios create unique wardrobes inspired by nature, blending earthy textures with retro-futuristic styles. They craft garments locally using innovative or upcycled textiles dyed with natural materials like coffee and tea. Their designs, such as the signature seaweed bag and bleached floral-print blouse, explore the human-nature relationship while offering sustainable fashion that both blends in and stands out.

    Stella McCartney

    Stella McCartney is dedicated to sustainable fashion, utilising materials such as recycled cashmere, organic cotton, and innovative alternatives like grape and mushroom-based leather. The Spring 2025 collection teatures 85% conscious materials, including forest-friendly viscose and plant-based denim, along with hand-drawn prints of British wildlife, celebrating a connection with nature.

    Iris van Herpen

    Iris van Herpen’s work is an amalgamation of nature and technology, blending biomimicry with innovation through, plant-based silk, and 3D-printed algae to create ethereal, biophilic couture.

    Salvatore Ferragamo

    Salvatore Ferragamo channels the essence of nature, crafting elegant collections that fuse organic textures with contemporary Italian sophistication For Spring/Summer 2017, Salvatore Ferragamo unveiled a Mediterranean-inspired capsule collection crafted from orange ‘silk,’ an eco-friendly fabric made from juicing industry waste.

    Yuima Nakazato

    Japanese designer Yuima Nakazato draws inspiration from nature for his couture collections, using innovative bio-materials and sustainable practices. In collaboration with Spiber, he developed garments from Brewed Protein™ fibers produced through microbial fermentation.

  • Threads of Resilience.

    Threads of Resilience.

    Reimagining waste in fashion.


    Today is the UN’s International Day of Zero Waste, and this year, we’re talking fashion.


    Every year, 92 million tonnes of textile waste — roughly the equivalent of 649 billion t-shirts — ends up in landfills or incinerators. Meanwhile, the fashion industry churns out 100 million tonnes of new garments, fuelling a culture of consumption.

Not only is this fast-fashion model toxic and unsustainable, it also erases the unique stories that our clothing is meant to inherit.



    But what if a snagged sleeve, ill-fitting jean, or last-season jacket didn’t mean the end of the story, rather, the beginning of a new chapter?



    Whether you grab a needle and thread or visit a local tailor, repairing your clothes is one of the most radical acts of sustainability, and refusal of fashion’s throwaway cycle.

And the industry is paying attention. From Patagonia and Nudie Jeans to Ganni and Veja, brands are offering free repair services, proving that fashion’s future can be regenerative.

    We take a look at some of the brands keeping clothes in circulation.

    Patagonia’s “Worn Wear” program offers free repairs, resale and upcycling.

    Customers can also request spare parts for DIY fixes.

    GANNI offers free tailoring and repairs through its SOJO partnership.

    The service includes alterations and fixes, with door-to-door collection in London and a nationwide postal option in the UK.

    Berghaus offers free repairs for life.

    If an item is beyond repair, customers can opt for upcycling and get 30% off a new purchase.

    VEJA offers a “Clean, Repair and Collect” project.

    They offer free repairs for sneakers of any brand as part of their “Repair Friday” initiative.

    Nudie Jeans offers free lifetime repairs on all denim.

    Worn jeans can be sent in for mend or traded for 20% off a new pair, with repaired denim resold through its Re-use program.

    Citizen Wolf offers free lifetime repairs on all its garments.

    They also use AI tailoring to offer high-quality, custom-fit t-shirts with low impact fabrics that ensure longevity.

  • Unfit for the slopes.

    Unfit for the slopes.

    Zara’s fast fashion skiwear


    Zara’s “budget-friendly” skiwear hides a darker reality. These petroleum-derived synthetic garments fail at their primary function. ⛷️

    Despite the après-ski aesthetic, they lack proper insulation, leaving wearers cold after minimal exposure to winter conditions.


    In December, fast fashion brand Zara released a new skiwear collection, marketed as the budget-friendly answer to mountain fashion, with prices under £100 compared to traditional outdoor options that can exceed
    £500. But is this “affordability” masking a higher cost?

    Unlike durable, quality skiwear, these pieces are designed for obsolescence, destined for landfills after a single season.

    Their production releases harmful microplastics into our oceans and contributes significantly to fashion’s carbon footprint.


    Beyond this, the collection is almost entirely made from petroleum-derived synthetics like polyester and nylon – essentially, plastic that will outlive us all, and permeate every crevice of environment, internally and externally.

    True affordability means considering cost-per-wear and environmental impact.

    Real sustainability requires investing in quality, durability and natural materials.


    Customers took to social media to criticise the collection for poor performance, lack of weather resistance, and quick deterioration. Despite the après-ski look, the styles lack insulation and waterproofing, leaving wearers cold and wet in winter conditions.

    Are you looking for ski holiday alternatives? High-quality and stylish options can be rented through sites like By Rotation and purchased through resale platforms such as Vinted and eBay. Save money and conserve wardrobe space by opting tor a sustainable choice.

    When will fast fashion prioritise genuine sustainability over quick profits? No marketing can hide that disposable fashion costs our planet dearly.

  • The art of Haute-Washing.

    The art of Haute-Washing.

    Pretty Little Thing‘s relaunch event was the latest example of “haute-washing” — using A-list celebrities to disguise the reality of fast fashion.

    This week PLT unveiled its ‘most ambitious’ rebrand since launching in 2012 but critics were quick to point out that the clothing is still largely plastic.

    One dress being sold for £70 is made up of 73% Polyester, 22% Rayon, 5% Elastane – all types of plastic.

    PLT has long been under fire over its fast fashion practices, and has consistently scored poorly for the Environment, Animals, and People categories of the Good Shopping Guide’s ethical rating report – and scores as one of the least-environmentally friendly brands in the UK.

    High-profile names can’t disguise the reality of fast fashion. Rebranding should focus on real values, sustainability, and consumer feedback—otherwise, it’s just haute-washing.

    When will fashion focus more on longevity, craftsmanship, and sustainability rather than using celebrity glamour to sell more unsustainable pieces?

    No amount of supermodel star power can change the fact that fast fashion remains unsustainable. The industry continues to rely on celebrity endorsements to distract from the bigger environmental impact. The rebrand should focus on real change, not just star-studded illusions.

    The future of fashion should be about values, not just hype.

  • Vintage-Inspired vs. True Vintage.

    Vintage-Inspired vs. True Vintage.

    The 2025 Oscars were filled with classic revivals, yet true vintage looks were surprisingly scarce.


    The fashion world is already overflowing with clothing, yet new pieces are being made to look vintage instead of rewearing the originals. With so many stunning pieces already in existence, why recreate what we could simply reuse?

    Red carpet gowns often get just one moment in the spotlight before being stored away. These masterpieces deserve to be reworn and remembered, not forgotten.

    With vintage fashion becoming more mainstream, isn’t it time we fully embraced what’s already out there instead of producing even more?

    Should we be seeing more authentic vintage on the red carpet?
