Eco Chic Fashion Pop Up

ecochic2017Eco Chic – The new fashion wave to hit Newcastle shores.

Fancy a fun high-fashion shopping spree night out without the hefty footprint? Want something one-off, locally made and globally responsible? On your doorstep? At one of the coolest venues in town? With craft beers and live music?

Showcasing amazing local fashion designers in one gorgeous space for one night only!

Then clear your calendar for the afternoon of April 30, when the Eco-Chic Fashion Pop-Up returns to Foghorn Brewhouse for the second year running. The brainchild of Rachel Prest, who brought Newcastle the Raid My Wardrobe phenomenon, Eco-Chic will feature upcycled and fair trade fashion at the cutting edge of sartorial style and sustainable living.

Set in the heart of Newcastle, in the beautifully renovated Art Deco industrial garage space of the Foghorn Brewhouse. The event will provide a small boutique shopping experience, featuring eight exhibitors including Aware. The Social Design Project; Recycled Bags & Co; Hause of Glassborow and Akatonbo.

Hause of Glassborow’s Johanna Glassborow said the event was a great opportunity to collaborate with like-minded designers and customers.

“‘Eco Chic has a great following of clients who appreciate good quality and sustainable fashion,” she said.

Yvonne Johnston, whose brand Aware. The Social Design Project was a part of Eco Chic’s inaugural event last year, said it was a “privilege” to be among the city’s eco and ethical design talent.

At its roots, Eco-Chic is about celebrating local makers and designers as well as the enormously supportive Newcastle community, but the sustainable fashion movement is gathering major momentum on a national and international basis.

The week of April 24-30 is Fashion Revolution Week and the hope, at both a global and local level, is that consumers will realise that being fashion-conscious and eco-conscious can go hand in hand. As Rachel points out, the Eco Chic event is not just about “home-made” clothing.

“It feels good knowing that your purchase pays fair wages to designers and creatives and has a less harmful impact on the environment,” she says.

Kick back on a late Sunday afternoon surrounded by your best friends, dining, listening to live music and shopping from Newcastle’s most eco luxe fashion designers.

WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY... I wanted to jum WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY...
I wanted to jump in and check in with you! Firstly, apologies for not being in touch for a while. I've been very quiet lately for a number of reasons -  all of them good :) 
.
I'm a very sensitive and reflective person and these past few months with all that has been unfolding in the world have been particular interesting for me and all of us really. 
.
While Raid My Wardrobe has been on pause due to circumstances out of our control :( ......other doors magically opened up for me. It started slowly at first a few hours here and there, a contract to help set-up a new business, some on-going support and now after 2 months I'm totally in it - Business Manager of an brick and mortar and online indoor plant store - @lovemyplants101 with my partner. 
.
If you'd told me back in February that I'd be working in the indoor plant industry I would have laughed in your face and said, 'You must have me mistaken with another'. Now as I communicate this with you I pinch myself at how truly amazing and exciting things have been for me over the past few months. 
.
So, I've been quiet for good reason.....I've been sooo busy!! To go from idea to fully fledged operating shop in the space of about 4 weeks has been one exciting ride. To use all my 10 years experience from creating and operating Raid My Wardrobe in helping another with their vision and dream has been inspiring and completely fulfilling for me. I love trouble shooting and problem solving, learning new things, stretching my brain, being challenged and finding more efficient ways to do things. I also love being of service to people and surrounded by nature. Pronouncing the plant botanical names though I'm still nailing that one ;)
.
Some of you I have already run into and you have recognised me in your part of the woods - East Maitland. And I have a special offer for you when you scroll down, as I'd love you to come in and say 'hi' and add some cleansing, greenery to your home.
.
You might be asking - What does this mean for Raid My Wardrobe?? Continued in the comments.
One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ P One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ Picked up these beauties at bargain prices from @lifeline_designerdepot and @redcrossshops skinny distressed jeans $15 and authentic Mexican leather cowboy boots $35 for me and Angelo Litrico suede leather jacket for him $50 so many beautiful knits and jackets in store but I did stop with just these. Have you hit the op shops lately? What have you found?
