Fit from my first day of #londonfashionweek
I literally raced down to pick these up from @elvdenim, 20 minutes before attending my first show. As part of my Eco-anxiety free journey I am always on the lookout for sustainable brands that are doing the work rather than talking the talk.

I like how #elvdenim elevate old denim to #luxdenim and they are based in London!
So fitting to wear for @karinabondlondon show, who equally creates sustainable collections using laser cutting & #bioplastic called DLA made from corn and starch for her #3D printed garments.

I attended the #presspreview for #marieantoinette @vamuseum last month and it inspired me to share a short piece I made quite a while ago, exploring #burlesque as an art form thru the lens of @natsumiscarlettofficial reimagining #marieantoniette.
Link into my bio for the full 6 minute piece.

Do you skip outfits that camouflage with your skin colour?

I make the rules and wear which ever colour I like. As a stylist, I always say no colour is off limits, the trick is to know how to break it up, so you don't look washed out. Brown is one of my favourite colours and this outfit gets re-worn everyyyy summer. My simple white string vest makes all the difference to being washed out, and standing out! Any other contrasting colour will do the trick, think #accesories #stylistadvice #personalstyling #androgenous #quirky #sustainablefashion #pantonecolouroftheyear #mochabrown #brownskin #skintone by @accidentalstatement

GOWN, BUT NOT FORGETTEN

Did it cross you mind to consider sustainabilty for your #SchoolProm outfit. Let me know in the comments about the experience of sourcing a prom outfit for yourself or teenagers in your world. I can categorically say, sourcing a dress with my teenager daugther has been a rollecoster of emotions!!!!! #promdressideas #prom2025 taken in BBC Broadcasting House by @accidentalstatement

ad I’m intrigued, on World Refill Day, do you have a local refill store near you? Can you tag them for me?

Let’s give them a shout - I’ll start:

1) @jarrmarket in Herne Hill
2) @refillyourcup_ruislip (opening soon)

What’s yours?

My own ‘local’ zero-waste store is now over in Herne Hill, a train ride away, and I only tend to visit when I’m en route to see my friends at @ilovelowie. So I’d love to celebrate your local refill store and spread the word - there’s an app for that too by the way - use the @refillhq Refill Return app to find 330,000+ refill spots.

I’m taking part in the #5DayChallenge from today June 16th until Friday the 20th. A Global Day of Action to spotlight reuse, refill, and return as real alternatives to single-use.

Five days of simple swaps that show how reuse can fit into everyday life.

🧴 Choose a refillable option.
☕ Skip the disposable cup or bottle.
