The Melbourne Magazine is out this week.

The Fair @ Square runway on last Friday night provided a stylish platform for some of Australia’s most committed sustainable fashion designers. The parade was opened by RMIT co-director of fashion, Karen Webster who gave an impassioned talk calling Australia’s fashion designers to be mindful of the environment, and urging shoppers to consider quality and longevity over quantity: “Let’s prevent fashion from imploding on itself to create a viable and vibrant community.”

The stage was then taken by some of the most innovative and mindful designers currently working in the Australian industry. To have a look at the amazing fashion on show click http://www.thevine.com.au/blog/tulliajack/melbourne-shows-us-its-eco-with-fair-at-square-runway20111205.aspx

The Fair@Square fashion show showcases a variety of approaches to sustainable, ethical fashion. The mix of fair trade, recycled, organic, and handmade items is just a small selection from the growing number of labels which are proving that fashion with a conscience isn’t just about organic cotton T-shirts any more – there’s plenty to choose from for more dressy occasions too. Stay tuned for more about the inspirational labels that will feature on the catwalk.
