"TRASHED" the film

Feeling very humbled but also excited to have a wee stall at the FREE screening of 'Trashed' the film at USC THIS FRIDAY NIGHT 5PM!!!

We want to show you that there are alternatives to mass produced items that have inbuilt obsolescence.
This is not an info night to make you feel down, but rather an uplifting night to meet people of all walks of life and discuss how our collective conscious choices actually do matter :)

Hope to see you there!

Homework + organic Australian wool

I'm filling out specification sheets (includes a digital illustration flat sketch of a garment + sewing/care instructions) for a design assignment and have to fill in details of the fabric we would choose to use...

So I started to research organic Australian wool fabric and stumbled across this article that details Australian organic standards, and encouraging people to do their homework about the manufacturing process of organic products. Good point!


Enjoy the read,

Always ask

I want to encourage people to ask questions. About themselves, others, their choices, experiences, beliefs, habits, what they buy, where it comes from, who made it, who pays for research, who profits from the environment and its inhabitants.

Question why we think the way we do.
Who (or what) wins and loses.
Who (or what) is not privy to the conversation.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, let's have an awkward chat.

Yasmin :)
