When someone uses the phrase "sustainable fashion", what comes to mind first? If what initially pops into your head is a far cry from what you'd be teeming with excitement to wear, well, you're definitely not alone there. "It was important to me to demonstrate that wearing un-bleached hemp tunics aren’t the only options for people who want to shop in a way that represents their values," Rachael Wang tells me. She's referencing, of course, the persistent stereotype that shrouds the sustainable fashion movement in an image of clothing that's frumpy and decidedly anti-trend. That's because for way too long, it was pretty much a given that shopping according to ethical and sustainable standards meant sacrificing a lot of options—and, consequently, a certain level of style. For the New York-based stylist, there's no reason those two should be mutually exclusive anymore. Considering the plethora of new sustainable brands flooding the market and the many established names now making it a top priority , Wang has made it her project to bring an elevated approach to ethical fashion and transform the relationship between the two (often disparate) worlds. So, naturally, when we had the opportunity to shoot actress-slash-activist Shailene Woodley as our next monthly cover star, Who What Wear tapped Wang to style the soot and bring to the table her vast encyclopedia of the coolest sustainable brands in existence. "I wanted to honor Shailene’s advocacy for social and environmental change by making thoughtful, transparent, ethical, and sustainable brands the rule and not the exception at her cover shoot," she shared. A minimalist's dream shoe collection, Rafa's sandals, ankle boots, and pumps are all made from vegan and recycled textiles with deadstock metal buckles. Plus, each shoe is handmade at the atelier in Los Angeles, CA. Each piece of jewelry from Robin Mollicone is one-of-a-kind and made-to-order to prevent overproduction. The brand uses semi-precious stones that are hand-selected from small, local, family-owned businesses. BaYou jewelry is handcrafted in Los Angeles, CA from guaranteed conflict-free, exclusively recycled gold from the tech industry, extracted sustainably and ethically. According to the brand, "Mara Hoffman uses sustainable fabrics like 100% TENCEL™ Modal a brand of soft rayon made from Beechwood trees, grown mainly in Austria. As Beechwood trees grow, they naturally breed, eliminating the need for artificial irrigation and planting, thus resulting in a self-sustainable forest. The TENCEL™ Modal production process also recycles 95% of the production materials back into its manufacturing system." The silk scarves from Slow Factory are made in Italy from sustainably sourced cotton and silk and pigmented with vegetable-based dye. 100% recycled nylon materials including abandoned fishing nets and other discarded nylon waste and can be recycled endlessly without any loss of quality. The use of this fabric helps to clean up the oceans and lessen our environmental impact." What sets Brother Vellies apart is the story behind the brand. Each shoe and bag are made in small made-to-order batches from by-product leather using vegetable dyes by African artisans who receive fair wages and skills training. According to the brand, "Designed by Catherine Servel and made by hand in her atelier, each sculptural and tactile piece of de Cosmi fine jewelry is a study of form, light, movement, and color." Born Native is a Brooklyn-based clothing line that uses 100% deadstock fabrics and handmakes each of the flouncy-sleeved tops and floaty mini dresses the brand stocks. Come summer, you'll want to get your hands on their breezy pieces. Ooriott's mind-blowingly cool basics like the Frill Shorts that Wang styled Woodley in for the shoot are made in limited quantities to prevent over-production and constructed from domestically-milled fabric by independently contracted sewers who named their own price. According to the brand, "Cienne is made in small batches with deadstock fabric to reduce material and inventory waste. Cienne donates unused fabrics to FabScrap, use compostable packaging and partner with DHL to evaluate the CO2 emissions footprint of our shipping." Swedish Stockings are made from recycled nylon and pre-consumer recycled elastane making them the world’s first fully recycled pantyhose and made by a production process fueled by renewable energy and thus completely emission free. fabric. Even if an item is made incorrectly, PH5 always reverse engineers to turn the knit panels back into yarn to be used all over again." According to the brand, "Jordache jeans are produced in mills that use 75% less water in the mill process from fabrics that require less water use to launder." Rombaut uses cruelty-free, non-animal materials and organic cotton. Next: Don't miss our exclusive shoot and interview with Shailene Woodley.

repost, don’t reblog

full name: Elina Solusvici other names: blacksmith, shitlord, son of a bitch, (has been called essentially every curse word you can think of, mostly by Lucian @caedxs ) title: Blacksmith?? Professional shitlord?? age: 20 (30 ten years later) gender: Female (pronounced like tamale) race: Altissian?? White?? ? fuck sexuality: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) origin: Altissia current location: Lestallum/Lucis nationality: AL..TISS...SIAN... ethnicity: bye spoken languages: Whatever tf the language is in Altissia and/or Lucis. English? religion: Believes in the Six like anyone else but she’s not really into it, just chill about it. height: 5′5″ body type: Pretty lean, some good all over muscle from heavy lifting. hair: Dark copper, kept long but almost always kept in a bun on the top of her head. eyes: A green-hazel mix. tattoos: None (although wouldn’t mind one) piercings: None (not super into them, likes them aesthetically on other people though) educational background: Home-schooled in Altissia, learned the usual stuff for a growing kid as well as extra skills to mold her into a political figure (violin, dancing, a bit of singing, etiquette) career: Professional blacksmith. social media: Something she finds fun, it’s good for her business as well as for keeping up with other people and showing off her work. smoking: Not for her drinking: A social drinker for the most part, but she enjoys some wine in private. She’s actually a wine mom just without the children part. drugs: Once or twice, not really something she cares about. athletics: Not really actively athletic? She just happens to do a lot of moving and heavy lifting for her work, and enjoys hiking to find her own materials for weaponry and the occasional pieces of jewelry. hobbies: Hiking, knife juggling (things get boring around the shop and she has a surplus of knives, what the fuck else can she do,) sketching/art although it mostly sticks to weapon designing, but she occasionally likes to sketch random things around the shop, although those don’t turn out so hot. Drinking wine, and cafe hopping. virgin: Yeah tbh. She finds sex jokes and innuendos hilarious but she’s yet to really form a close enough relationship with someone to want to do that. favorite drink: Red wine and coffee. favorite food: Elina’s not picky whatsoever but she likes protein. If she were to choose one of Ignis’ recipes, it’d probably be the hunters crazy kebabs. Maybe king’s stew, it’s a toss up. favorite music: A good mix of choices, she definitely likes the energy of more pop-rock style modern songs but she can enjoy older rock and fun remixes of songs. clothing style: Elina likes comfortable clothes most days, something fairly light that’s easy to move around in (leggings, tank tops) and because she’s in Lestallum, she tries not to overheat, usually winds up being light shades of pink, white, black, gray, and red (essentially has a good variety color wise.) However, when she gets the rare occasion to dress up, she loves going all out with make up and a colorful dress and some sick ass heels (I really suck at deciding clothes styles though rip) underwear type: Hipster style and boy shorts. Elina doesn’t understand why thongs exist, she’d rather go commando than have to deal with that discomfort.
