Sustainable Fashion Brands- 22nd November 2016

Lali

• Lali is an Australian sustainable and Eco-friendly clothing brand. 
• Most of their garments are made out of 100% Rayon and the styles are simple yet chic.
• Prices range from $100-$220, however they can be paid in smaller instalments. 
• This is the type of brand that I want my collection to resemble, sleek, chick and eco-friendly.

  H&M Conscious Collection
  In 2011, H&M released their new Eco-friendly Conscious Collection, which included affordable items made from natural fibres such as Lyocell, Cotton and recycled materials. In 2014, they released a new party wear collection which included recycled or organic sequins, beads, leather and silk. There were dresses, maxi skirts, tuxedo jackets and military style jackets. All garments had natural tones such as ivory, blush pink and light grey. This collection is an excellent example of how sustainable fashion can be just as fashionable as cheap, throw-away garments. When you say a garment has been made out of recycled fabric, immediately, the first thing that comes to mind is some type of garment made out of patchworks. Therefore, I aim to make my collection just as fashionable so it appeals to people of all ages.
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  In March 2016, Vogue released an article stating that H&M will be creating a bridal range, a bridal conscious collection, so it appeals to the bride who wants to look as beautiful as well as conscious. It involves brides dresses, bridesmaid dresses and wedding guest outfits. All garments are made from organically sourced natural fabrics, finished with beautiful embellishments. The colour palette is neutral, including ivory, cream, blush pink, peach and light grey. For the wedding guest, there are garments featuring beautiful floral prints to add some colour.The shapes from this collection are very organic, perfect for a summer wedding to keep cool yet still looking chic. I will take inspiration from this collection, by looking at the shapes and silhouettes used as they appeal to me for my collection. The new H&M collection doesn't only sell garments, it also has different accessories on offer such as shoes, earrings, bags and sunglasses. Below are some examples of the collection;
