Is there such a thing as an ethical and sustainable Black Friday sale?

November 25, 2021

Once upon a time, I only bought clothes on sale. In my late teens, I loved nothing more than raiding the sale rack at Supré and digging through the bargain bin at City Beach, and I would save all year just to splurge on a shopping spree on Boxing Day.

Sustainable fashion is in my blood now, but it hasn't always been. I've shopped from Supré. I've ducked into Kmart for a quick essential. I've been lured into Zara for a last-minute glitzy weekend number. I've even rummaged through the sale racks at H&M and enjoyed it.

Polyester garments take more than 200 years to break down, but they never decompose; tiny plastic particles exist, forever. So, what's the solution? Ditch polyester and switch to natural, biodegradable, renewable fabrics in your wardrobe, and choose to shop ethically and sustainably.

I'm also grateful for the women I know who get up every day to make the world a better place, so with International Women's Day this week, I'll be shining a light on inspiring women who use their position in the fashion industry as a force for good.

While things are a little strange out in the world and virtual shopping is the 'new norm', you can still book in for a private one on one session with me, a virtual fitting to find your perfect fit at home, or a private contactless at-home fitting to shop our instore ranges from the comfort of your own dressing room.

If you're a lover of shopping, champagne, coffee and good company, book a private one on one session with me at our Beaumaris store. I don’t bite, I’m super friendly, and if you’re in the mood for coffee or champagne (or both), it’s on me.

In 2016, I spent $6500 on fashion. In 2017, I bought only Australian-made clothes. In 2018, I spent $9 on a pre-loved outfit, but otherwise, bought no new clothes. Yep, I tried the minimalist thing and bought nothing for 365 days.

November 01, 2018

This entire outfit has made by a woman who I’ve known for more than half a decade. She has children, she is passionate, she is incredibly talented, and she has never swayed from her values, remaining ethical and Australian made.

A truly sustainable wardrobe is one that you can mix and match, wear year-round, layer, and live in, and that's swimwear included.

July 03, 2018

Instead of just quitting fashion, I’m trying to change it. I embrace sustainability. I empower people who are designing for positive change. I advocate for transparency. I am socially responsible.

Australia's pink lakes make for a perfect backdrop, especially when pastel pink sneakers are in the picture.

Faye De Lanty is an advocate for sustainable fashion, a thrift-shop stylist, and a passionate environmentalist.

Don't Do Pretty does leather

September 14, 2017

I believe every woman deserves to own one high quality, handcrafted, sustainably dyed and ethically sourced leather garment – if she wants to.

Pre-loved thrift shop treasures

September 07, 2017

I’m a thrift shopper from way back. Growing up in a small country town meant little shopping diversity, so I would trawl my local op shops for vintage treasures and unique finds.

Short and sweet

September 05, 2017

Melbourne may not have cottoned on yet, but Spring has officially arrived and the sun baby within me is ready to shed some layers.

August 29, 2017

Spring is my favourite season of the year; the sun starts coming out, I can ditch the layers and don more colour, and fresh flowers are aplenty.

June 07, 2017

I love prints. I love colour. I love clashing prints and colour, but there’s a fine line between looking great and looking ghastly.

Fashion Revolution Week

April 24, 2017

Fashion begins with a single idea; it is inspired, creative, it is powerful and meaningful, but the process from this pure state of conception to that of creation, is rarely questioned.

April 22, 2017

It’s no secret that the traditional corporate wardrobe can be a little drab. Confined to black pencil skirts, boxy blazers and dated court shoes, the office outlook is usually grim – but it doesn’t have to be.

January 10, 2017

Today marks the launch of The Fashion Advocate’s 2017 Australian made campaign, a 12-month project which will see local fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands receive the attention and promotion they deserve.

November 24, 2016

Two of Melbourne’s most beloved traits are its street art and unique fashion scene, so what could be better than the combination of both? That’s what Pant Active‘s designer duo Brenton and Deborah Loh thought too when they breathed life into their label and launched earlier this year.

October 11, 2016

The Siyona woman is a connoisseur of the exceptional. She is independent, confident and ambitious. She lives life to the full and exudes style, grace and attitude through her wardrobe as an expression of her personality.

September 14, 2016

The latest shoot from stylist Jac Dohrmann has dropped and it lives up to its name: ‘Vibrancy’ is a colourful collision of pieces from a range of quirky Australian labels.

April 05, 2016

If I could follow the sun throughout the year and skip winter, I would. I’m a beach lover at heart and take full advantage of any chance I can to ditch my heels, wash off my make-up and laze around poolside or lap up some rays at the beach.
