As we step into summer, we decided to take a step back and look at our favourite trends from MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week to inspire our spring/summer closets:

  1. Edgy Feminism: A tantalizing balanced between tough and delicate was seen in many of the fall winter runway look. We immediately thought out our Bombshell collection, with its beautiful shapes and delicate textures, handmade from recycled bullets:

“RECYCLED BULLET” PENDANT (12088)

  1. Floral Skirts: Dark colours, full skirts, floral prints – we love this look. Pair it with a striking scarf from our Silk and Coco collection such as:

“SHADES & HUES” SCARF (13008)

  1. Sculpted Shapes: Think geometrical, well-thought out shapes paired with traditional witnercolours, just like our“Broccato Clutch” made by women artisans in India:

“Broccato” Clutch (13004)

Featuring a designer with an entirely ethical line, this year Toronto Fashion Week was definitely exciting this. Consider these trends as you start thinking spring/summer 2014.

In addition to our ongoing blog series titled “Article Round Up”, we thought it would be fun to highlight some of our favourite ethical fashion pieces from our collection weekly. Stay tuned to see some of our most exciting pieces from our current and upcoming collections!

MoralFibre-19Embrace the fall with this “Jacquard” Tablet cover made from brocade fabric by women artisans in India. Carry your tablets and netbooks (up to 11”) in style during your busy days as you support underprivileged women artisans who face many hardships in their lives including physical disability, caste discrimination, domestic abuse, and poverty. By leveraging their inner strength, these women have looked to gain more independence and lift their families out of poverty by using their talents.

Coming in maroon & gold or brown & gold – these colours are an excellent way to embrace the autumn feel.

[Article Round Up] The 10 Funkiest “Ethical Fashion” Looks From Rome’s Fashion Week #Ethicalfashion

“AltoRoma AltoModa, Rome’s fashion week, may not be as glamorous or high-profile as that of Paris, New York, and Milan, but it still offers some pretty rad runway shows. AltoModa is currently in full swing and earlier today, we already saw one show that really got our attention. It was called Africa to Rome, and we loved its colorful fashions as well as its unusual mission.

Africa to Rome is a result of a collaboration of the International Trade Center’s Ethical Fashion Initiative and Italy’s AltoRoma, and was designed to give global attention to African artisans. The Ethical Fashion Initiative is an ongoing UN mission that works to help women in Africa make their craftsmanship available to the market, and it’s an awesome, empowering way to fight poverty.

The Ethical Fashion runway show featured African designer brands Christie Brown, Kiki Clothing, Portenier Roth, and Stella Jean. The clothes were all made with ethically-sourced, handwoven materials made on the continent. Oh, and they were amazing.

It’s great to see fashion inspired by a good cause, and it’s also a refreshing take on clothing from the handful of top designers we see every other day of the year. Check out some of the best pieces from the Africa to Rome runway show below.”
