Slow Fashion Exhibition at St Monica's

Posted on October 27 2016

We were really pleased to assist in the creation of a slow fashion exhibition held at the Victorian College of St Monica's recently.

After being contacted by one of the students we were delighted at their keen interest in learning more about our business and ethical fashion in general. Their Social Justice coordinator helped create an event that was so well put together, having a cross section of local labels and involved screening segments of the 'True Cost' movie which highlights the impact of fashion on people and the planet.

We have shared a few of their pics from the event below with our fern Dita dress sent down as an example of our Australian made womenswear.
