Straight after I finished my
facebook post about the
british upcycling showroom I went down to check out the
green showroom at Adlon hotel which
showcased sustainable luxury & high-end labels. Here I revisited
label
Elsien Gringhuis which
I had already discovered at
last season's fashion week. The unusual but rather glamorous venue provided
the perfect contrast to the designer's sleek & modern designs. Aiming for
low environmental impact from minimal waste pattern drafts to conscious choice
of natural materials Elsien's creations have a timeless quality to it which
makes them credible long time wardrobe classics. The beautifully tailored trousers & boxy
jacket for their S/S14 collection are the results of collaborating with textile
designer
Aliki van der Kruijs who
creates prints through a technique called hydrography which allows her to
capture water movement - in this case rain! I also got to try on this amazing hooded
cape made from beeswax coated cotton. I love the unexpected texture and
sculptur-like silhouette, with a little tuck you can change your entire look....
