Saving the Planet - is Eco-Fashion a thing now?

This morning the British Vogue Twitter account tweeted a link to possibly some of the most beautiful clothes I've seen in a long time. What was more captivating was the fact they were all from H+M as part of the Entitiled Conscious Exclusive collection, an extension of the Conscious Collection faced by Vanessa Paradis. This means everything was made from sustainable materials.

The short article got me thinking about fashion being friendly to the environment and I wondered
 - is eco-fashion a thing now?

Conscious Exclusive Collection - I am so in love with this dress it's almost painful

Windy weekend

I spent a majority of my weekend on hills of some sort.

Saturday saw me at the DSPCA at Puppy Obedience classes - which is again up the mountains.

Sunday was my granny's anniversary mass. The only, and I stress only, time I will go mass. There's usually two masses, one in Dublin and one in Wexford and so on Sunday the family converged on the tiny church - which is again, up the side of a hill.

What's happening in Siopaella?

This is happening.

For those who are not aware, Siopaella has two branches in Temple Bar on Crow street and Temple Lane, stocking recycled, reclaimed and consigned designer and high end clothes and accessories as well as a few killer vintage pieces.

Not satisfied with just being super fashionable, Siopaella are also regular philanthropists and are holding their second fundraising event  in aid of A Dog's Life.

The concept couldn't be more simple: a sale rail of over 250 pieces all for Eur3 with all the money going to A Dog's Life - the rail is restocked and updated every few hours allowing for us office-workers to get a look in and grab a bargain.

This time round there will also be nail art to be had, again all donations going to the worthy cause, and a rumoured appearance by a certain glamorous curly-haired model (pictured above)

So with all this in mind there's no reason not to get yourself to Siopaella at 8a Crow Street on September 25th between 10.30 and 7.30 (maybe even dropping in a few times...) I know I'll be there at least.
