Disposable will be a dirty word at the festival showcasing durable, small-run clothing designed and made in Australia.
“I made a little top and I sent it to her and she said she would wear that top during one of her magazine shoots alongside Vivienne Westwood,” Ms Kuvan-Mills said.
Eco Fashion Week is supported by the Australian Made campaign, which will provide a prize worth up to $20,000 to the winner of Best New Australian-Made Design. It will run from November 23-27 in Fremantle.
In the interim, you can pop a choc top at the latest instalment of Kingsman: The Golden Circle which has just arrived in cinemas. Since the first Kingsman film opened in 2015, also directed by Matthew Vaughn, the fashion brand collaboration has continued with Mr Porter, one of the most finely tuned fashion-film partnerships attempted (simply synching film and fashion production timelines makes the mind boggle). The brand has continued in the interim. The sixth collection is its most successful to date, so something’s clearly working. The seventh collection coincides with the new film, and as such brings a new slant alongside the traditional Savile Row style (pictured), namely more casual US styles, as seen on the characters from Statesman (the Kingsman spy ring’s US counterpart). This includes leather bomber jackets from San Francisco brand Golden Bear, which has created these since the 1940s, and felt hats from stetson.
