Into The Eco - Slow Fashion - Interview - Eco-activist

Break

Call her a model, an eco-activist or a vegetarian, we just call her Jess, but she is all of those things and more and we love her for it. She has been so supportive of our vision at Into The Eco, so it was a joy to be able to use her talents in our latest photo shoot. We are calling Jess our eco-conscious model, we classify her as a fellow eco-warrior, doing all she can to make a difference. She is passionate about her strict vegetarian diet, recycles everything she uses, refusing plastic where possible, buys into cool fashion brands, powers her flat with a green supplier, and is pleasantly vocal about all of the above. She also adopted all of our plants off us when we left London and is kindly keeping them alive while we are away. Something that we are super grateful for.

Wear The Walk Interview – Is Renting The New Buying?

 

Into The Eco - Slow Fashion - Wear The Walk Photoshoot

 

In a world that’s become addicted to high speed and constant newness and a clothing industry encouraging overconsumption, Wear the Walk’s approach to fashion offers an exciting alternative.

Currently, many of us enjoy buying new clothes on the regular. The rate of current purchasing is rising at a relentless rate. Luckily, with the rise in awareness, there has also been a rise in socially responsible substitutes. 

Wear The Walk offers exciting stand-out pieces on a rental basis, at affordable prices. Zoe, the founder believes in making exclusive attitudes of high fashion accessible to us all, without the high price tag.

Culture Over Consumption – Sustainable Photoshoot

 

Into The Eco - Culture Over Consumption - Sustainable Photoshoot

 

Welcome to our first collaborative photoshoot.

We decided to produce a fashion photoshoot showcasing sustainable design and our eco values. We did this by sourcing the clothes from ethical and sustainable sources and using a model who lives by her eco-conscious ideals.  

As a whole, this shoot was a great example of how welcoming and collaborative the sustainable community is proving to be. Starting this shoot with only an idea, we began to send around a few emails, which lead to a couple of meetups. Ending with some lovely new connections, stories, great photos and a super proud feeling inside. We are so happy to share the results with you today and some of our inspiration behind the shoot.

How To Love Yourself More With The 30 Wears Challenge.

 

Into The Eco - Love Your Clothes - Slow Fashion

 

Since we posted our original article talking about the 30 wears challenge last year we have been ecstatic with the positive response it received. It has been the most popular post we have shared so far and it was lovely to see people really engaging with the positive idea of loving our clothes.

Many of our friends and colleges said to me in passing comments, “I have definitely worn this more than 30 times” and it made me so happy. This is what Into The Eco is all about, talking about everyday issues and hopefully making it feel approachable and engaging. What is more engaging than our content, creating conversations in the real world? I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read. We hope you like this one just as much, if not more.

In the spirit of inspiring the 30 wears movement further, we are keeping the conversation flowing. Do you ever feel that some fashion bloggers and retailers make us think that buying new clothes is necessary to feel at our best? They might even make us feel we need to look a certain way to feel good about ourselves? If you have ever felt that way we are here to offer a fresh perspective.
