“Wellington eco warrior Starfish broke new ground to become the first fashion label to present a totally sustainable and eco-friendly collection at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.
Every piece in the Starfish collection, Brave New World, was sustainable, including hats for Starfish by Petone’s Hills hats and Fair trade Veja footwear. The range included New Zealand-made organic cotton knickers, and garments made of bamboo silks, New Zealand merino, and koplon, a fibre made of 30% wool and 70% recycled fabrics.”

“Starfish’s collection was the highlight of the group show, providing ANZFW’s first complete show of environmentally friendly garments.
The collection was called Brave New World, and featured uniform-inspired pieces, striped merinos, double-breasted coat and more, all in eco-friendly fabrics.”

“Being eco-chic is not a throw away trend, but some of the clothes can be. This tencel blouse is biodegradable, thanks to the wood-pulp fibres from trees grown on sustainably run farms. And the print is water based ink that wont harm the earth if it ever ends up in landfill. If that’s not enough to blow you away, Local label Starfish, which also made the organic cotton denim skirt, is a sustainable business (with awards to prove it) that uses vegetable dyed paper bags, recycled buttons and buckles, and organic and natural fabrics where possible.”

“Fashion designers everywhere are making conscious choices to bring sustainable practices into their everyday working and creative environments. From the fabrics used in garments, to the packaging used to distribute collections – designers are realising that green suits everyone.
Where possible, Starfish sources New Zealand made fabrics with sustainable qualities such as organic denims, cottons and hemp. They also use recycled buttons and buckles, paper bags with a vegetable based dye and chlorine free tissues.”
