This past weekend, I attended a few events that were part of Toronto Women’s Fashion Week. And I’m very excited that they were all ethical fashion events!
Whenever the subject of sustainable fashion is brought up, the objection of price quickly follows. But being ethical with fashion doesn’t have to be expensive!
I adore resale fashion. Whether it’s consignment, vintage or a thrift shop find, I love that resale fashion helps me determine my own distinct personal style with pieces that I truly love and treasure. I also love that shopping fashion resale means that there’s just that much less pressure on the fashion industry to produce more collections faster.
I love fashion. And for a long time, one of my favourite pastimes was shopping for clothes. However, becoming aware of the harms that the fashion industry has caused (and continues to cause) made me question my shopping habits. For me, conscious fashion is not about sacrificing personal style. I’m still me: I still love pinks, reds, purples, and blue; I adore polka dots, frills and cute retro details (with a side of rock and roll).
I used to be addicted to trends. Each new season in the fashion calendar, I would scourge glossy fashion magazines and my favourite style blogs to find out what was going to be hot on the latest fall, spring or resort runway.
Hey, kids! I’m finally back, and with the new Sense of Aesthetic! I know you may be wondering where I’ve been since June, and I’m finally able to let you know what’s been going on and what it all means for the future of Sense of Aesthetic…
