So we at The Conscience Collective absolutely LOVE (yes, in CAPS) CHRISTOPHER RAEBURN. Of course he represents an ethical fashion brand that is in-keeping with our collective ethos, but we also just love his designs. He described his ideal client as one who is “looking for something different, ethically intelligent and proudly
remade in England,” which describes the women at the helm of the collective to a T. Although we three have different aesthetics, they all meld into a collective perspective on how these aesthetics can be played out. For me, my fashion identity came into being whilst living in the UK, with the heavy influences of the countries I have had the pleasure of living and growing up in. For the other girls, this is very much the same.
The soundtrack blasted, and suddenly the club kid inside emerged. The NCP car park became the backdrop, the arena, the clubhouse for Henry Holland's HOUSE OF HOLLAND with the music as loud as the prints the models rocked. Neon Tartans, bold florals, and acidic tie-dyes, which reeked a juxtaposition of eclectic and sophistication. I am currently obsessing over his neon tartan trousers (to DIE FOR!)
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD is a pioneer when speaking of the bridging between fashion and an ethical lifestyle perspective. She can safely be called a revolutionary, whether it be through her Africa Project or her support of the charity COOL EARTH where she actively advocates the protection of indigenous people from the rise in effects of climate change.
In her interview with British Vogue, Westwood stated prior to the presentation of her Red Label Spring/Summer 2013 show “I don’t really care about fashion...My job now gives me an excuse to talk about what I really care about - and that is the climate revolution.” When asked what she does to ensure that her collections are ecologically sound, she responded “My motto is ‘buy less, choose well, make it last.' You should wait until you really need something before you buy it. In fact, don't buy this collection.”
