Showcasing Sustainable, Ethical and Eco Friendly Fashion Brands
Life Instyle is set to return to Melbourne from the 3rd-6th of August. Showcasing a carefully curated collection of brands from Australia and beyond, offering the perfect opportunity to meet the brand owners and creators and see their beautiful collections in person before they hit the shelves.
This year there is a particular focus on sustainable and ethically manufactured businesses and their products, something that today’s consumer is increasingly demanding. With the widest range of brands attending the event, this year is set to be the best one yet showcasing new and innovative brands with sustainability at their core.
Amongst the 335 brands that will be exhibiting at the show, there is a plethora of brands that implement sustainable, ethical and eco friendly practices into their sourcing and manufacturing processes.
Here’s a glimpse of some of this year's eco-friendly innovative exhibitors:
Curvature is a colourful, print focused, slow fashion label that is committed to true size inclusion and creating designs that will be worn for years to come. Everything is proudly designed and made in Adelaide, South Australia. Curvature is deeply committed to delivering high quality, ethically produced clothing. Everything is proudly made in Adelaide, South Australia.
Auckland-based eyewear brand, 'Isle of Eden', blends contemporary design with sustainability. Their frames are handcrafted from plant-based acetate, and free from petrochemicals, unlike typical designer options. Glasses arrive in a unique recycled leather case, sourced from tannery waste. Customers can trade in old frames for new styles, which are either refreshed and resold, or utilised in affordable repair programs. Isle of Eden also collaborates with organisations like Future Post and Sustainable Coastlines, contributing to coastal litter reduction in New Zealand and beyond.
Inspired by the Sun, Sky, and Sea, Sun Soul jewellery is ethically crafted from precious materials using only the finest finishes. Affordable and perfect for everyday wear, their collection is designed with retailers and their customers in mind. Their product is perfect for year round gifting, as well as being a popular impulse purchase due to the variety of styles available and affordable pricing. Each piece in the collection is a wardrobe staple, a timeless fashion accessory, and a precious keepsake. Designed in Australia, Sun Soul is for the adventurous at heart and made to be worn layered.
Texcoco Collective is a eco-luxe handbag brand committed to conscious design, environmental conservation, and thoughtful consumption. They celebrate the designers and makers of their products and aim to empower women and men to have beautiful, functional pieces without compromising on their standards or style. Texcoco Collective offers a range of vegan leather handbags. It’s one of few sustainable Australian labels that works with Mexican artisans and skilled workers to craft beautiful vegan bags made from Mexican cactus leather, actively helping to turn the tide on wasteful practices.
