THE BEST DRESSED OF THE MONTH JANUARY

- By Minoli Ratnayake

Every month I have the fabulous task of compiling a best dressed list, I attend some fabulous events, sort through hundreds of photos from the past month to find the best of the best. I do a roundup of events that played host to some of the most polished, eclectic, and stylish of dressers, those who have generally taken control of the sartorial landscape. The revelry of the season continued into January with some stellar events like the Gflock Recycle Collection launch #trash to treasure. Sustainabi­lity and ethics are now the two main topics of conversati­on in the global fashion industry.

At GFLOCK, their commitment to sustainabi­lity is at the core of everything. In practice, this implies continuous work to improve all stages of their product’s life cycle, from sourcing ethically produced raw materials, design, manufactur­ing, transport, storage, marketing to the shop shelf; for you to use, reuse, repair, and recycle. From beginning to end, they are committed to making high quality garments in a responsibl­e manner. GFLOCK recognises that the production of clothing has an increasing impact on our natural environmen­t. Their Recycled Collection is the next step, in their mission to minimise this burden on our environmen­t by using

fabrics that have been manufactur­ed by using waste plastic or PET bottles.

January also saw Rohan Karr host his signature cocktail, an incredible evening at the Kingsbury who showcased their exquisite culinary creations, the evening was a veritable who’s who of Colombo’s style set.

The people on my list impressed with their style, their poise, their ability to pull a unique look together and were the most soigne of the soigne for the month. These style mavens know how to turn heads. There was no shortage of fashion hits from this most fashionabl­e month and I look forward to seeing how our city’s sartoriall­y savvy bring more stylish looks this month!
