Welcome to Sustained Style;

As a Bachelor of Applied Fashion student, I am incredibly passionate about fashion. I believe that it’s a great medium for expression of personality, beliefs, and values, which can be used to create positive change in the world.

My commitment towards and sustainability started quite young, with the influence of my parents – who encouraged me to see wonder in the natural environment, and showed devotion to an eco-friendly lifestyle through gardening, composting, tree-planting, the installation of a water tank and solar power, as well as their habits of minimising plastic waste and not promoting consumerism. This lifestyle, and my time spent outside, admiring nature, has given me an enormous appreciation for the environment, which I hope to carry through into my fashion endeavours.

Sustained Style will delve into the issues and impacts of the textiles industry, emerging technology and processes which are combative of such, sustainable fibre and fabric choices, alternatives to fast fashion, and eco-friendly fashion businesses.

The goal of Sustained Style is to provide a thorough guide to creating an eco-friendly wardrobe, with options which can be incorporated into any lifestyle and aesthetic. I hope to encourage everyone to make even the smallest steps towards an environmentally friendly and fashionable life – because any progress is a win for our mother earth.
