As a consumer of luxury goods, I feel it’s sometimes hard to make my case for sustainability and ethical making in the fashion industry. However, I believe, too, that every little bit can help in making a difference. Together we can make it a movement…
Teaming up with brands who actually started from the source of these believes, is what helps me spread the message. It’s my way of contributing, and educating not only myself, but also you. Deep in our hearts I am sure we are on the same page, but prices sometimes make it hard to switch to the other side. As with Organic food versus non-organic, it’s the price that makes it impossible for some. No matter how big their good intentions, if you can’t afford it, you have no choice. Right?
Now what if I told you that you don’t have to break the bank to get that perfect tailored pair of pants, or for that amazing gingham top you don’t have to go to one of the big high-street chains. That you won’t have the risk of wearing the same statement dress to your best friend’s wedding, and you won’t need to struggle with average sizing that not suit your body type. Plus, as a bonus, you will contribute to a more sustainable way of shopping…
It sounds too good to be true, I know, but see for yourself. Today’s look has all of the above, mixed with what I already had. It’s the perfect tailored pants, one that looks like it’s from a designer I admire so much, but did not come with her price tag. The top – which is part of this jacket – in just the right color to match my bag, and made to fit my little waist. How? It’s customized – so it fits me perfectly – it’s made to order – which means less waste, so more ethical responsible – and without the mass production and the tailor-made aspect, it’s never going to be the same for anybody.
Not sure if I can reinforce the message even more. Maybe the look speaks for itself, or just go to the Fame and Partners website to find out more about all the above. I’m confident you will thank me for it later…
In both the day and night look I’m wearing a FAME and Partners pink waist top and pants.
