When you think ‘sustainability’ and all of the other catchy little greenie words you don’t exactly think fashion savant now do you? Well, Madame Blanchett and Natalie Portman are not the only ones that can bask in the karmic afterglow and glorious feel of sustainable fashion. While the London Estetica and NY Fashion Week had their very own ‘green’ shows, the mainstream Australian fashion industry has been slightly slower to take-up the baton. Lisa Gorman is one of the exceptions. Tomorrow at RAFW she will launch her Ship Shop – a revamped shipping container that will travel the country, revolutionising the way we shop. In addition to a whole host of creative sustainable tweaks, for the duration of Fashion Week the Ship Shop will run on renewable GreenPower energy supplied by Climate Friendly. Carving out a niche with creatives, Climate Friendly have been working with the likes of Dinosaur Design, Bholu, Bird Textile, Splendour in the Grass, and a host of others to approach sustainability in an innovative and progressive way. Keep an eye out for the Ship Shop coming your way. See Gorman and Climate Friendly for more.
