When it comes to fashion, supporting local, sustainable and ethical designers is so important. In a industry characterised by "fast-fashion", and dodgy practices, it's exciting to here about Campbell Charlotte's stance on minimal material wastage, ethical and local production (the latest collection has been made entirely in Melbourne), and comfortable, durable designs that are ultimately trans-seasonal and timeless .
The latest collection (Summer 15), transports you straight into a pastel dreamworld. Whimsical patterns with light pink, blue and black hues, are printed on natural cotton and linen, with techniques all gained from her background in Fine Arts. Personal favourites from the collection include the wide leg pants in salt, and printed shift in sage - I'm dreaming of pay day. I'm also making it my mission to track down one of the convertible backpacks (pictured below), simply stunning!
The Bank of Melbourne is currently running a competition to offer start up, growing and regional businesses $10,000 to grow their brand. For Charlotte Campbell this will enable her to relocate from home and expand her ability to produce her A/W 16 collection professionally. You can vote for Campbell Charlotte by clicking here and following the link. Her commitment to bringing sustainability and ethical production back into the fashion industry definitely deserves support.
You can catch Campbell Charlotte, as well as some other brilliant local designers, at the next Markit@FedSquare on the 29th of November, or shop online here.
