Off to Lamu. Can’t wait for the Swahili coast vibe 🌊

Lamu island is around 340 kilometres away from Mombasa and can only be reached by boat.
There are no cars on the islands - only donkeys!

Because of its particular architecture and important role as a cultural and economical hub in historic times, the main town of the island became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001. 🤍

Heya! This is just the perfect start to this week and something I have been waiting to share for months.

Today the book HANDLOOM SUSTAINABILITY AND CULTURE which I contributed to has been published ✨

The chapter I wrote is called ‚how translating between heritage and contemporary fashion can create a sustainable fashion movement’ 👗

The contribution puts spotlight on the importance of fair artisan collaborations and suggestions for sustaining communities/skills.
It was huge fun to write this chapter and talk to the brilliant minds of

The book or the chapter is now available as a digital version at Springer and will be in print later this year. [978-981-16-5967-6] 📚

Not sure about the ex-boyfriends but there ARE dresses in my closet, which I haven’t worn in ages. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Let's manifest some sustainable fashion goals for 2022 💥

An easy way to avoid buying too much is RENTING AND RESELLING.
If you rent fashion items you can get a feel for the style and shake up your wardrobe without a huge commitment.

Instead of being stuck with piles of garments in your closet, you can make a promise to keep things flowing.

Reselling is a great way to keep your style and your cash going 💰
Use the fashion resources you already have at home and make someone else happy.

Here are some of the coolest rental/resell businesses to check out:
