3 Designers: One Mission

Designers Hanny Dewar, Lee Dewar (centre) and Tamara Russell have one thing in common. They are dedicated to the recycling cause. Bringing awareness to the need for more sustainable practices in the fashion industry is their mission. The Sustainable Careers Expo 2010 was held on Wednesday at the ANU and though the crowd was relatively small, the message was heard loud and clear. RE-USE, RE-INVENT and of course RE-LOVE!

Re-Loved at the ANU Sustainable Careers Expo

We were invited to participate in the Green fashion parade at the Sustainable Careers Expo held at the Australian National University (ANU to us locals) on Wednesday 18 August 2010. It was a fairly casual affair but we had lots of fun. 3 of our Re-Loved designers: Lee Dewar, Tamara Russell and yours truly, presented collections, created from reclaimed, upcycled and recycled materials, promoting the need for sustainability in the fashion industry.
