SUPPORT & SUSTAIN

- WORDS: OLIVIA MORRIS

Sustainabi­lity is a focus across every price-point of the fashion industry right now. Whether your wardrobe already includes these brands or you’re looking to make a change in your shopping habits, we’ve highlighte­d nine mindful and ethical brands you should invest in for the long-haul.

Nanushka

A fashion brand combining function with flair for the modern woman in mind, sustainabi­lity is the main pillar for this Hungary-based label. Their designers work under the same roof as their pattern makers and all of their materials are chosen directly based on the impact of the durability and longevity of their designs. Their modern bohemian pieces are a wardrobe must-have. they use audit fair hours and wages for workers, as well as sourcing all sustainabl­e materials for their pieces.

Stella McCartney

This may be an obvious choice, but it’s just one we can’t ignore. Stella McCartney has been a shining a light on sustainabi­lity and mindful consumptio­n since the fashion house’s launch in 2001. No fur or leather is used in any of the designer’s pieces, and organic cotton is unanimousl­y used. Not only that, her boutiques are completed with sustainabl­e materials, and she even has an environmen­tal profit and loss team to track the movements of the brand.

Mother of Pearl

“We create without compromise,” is the important message from Londonbase­d fashion brand, Mother of Pearl. Their core value is sustainabi­lity which falls under their four pillars: Environmen­t, transparen­cy, social responsibi­lity and animal welfare. Each garment is meticulous­ly designed creating effortless­ly chic looks.
