#knitwearcollab #wearableresearch 💚👗🍀 Who's in for a photosynthetic balaclava to stay fashionably mysterious 😎 yet ecologically positive 🌿 at the same time? 🤩🌱👤🙌 Designed by our dear friend 😘 @oliv.iarubens , a positive knitwear designer, this look embodies a multitude of thorough & tough decisions to make sure it's more than just "sustainability" from head 🧠 to toe 👣 🤯🧠💨 The merging of @oliv.iarubens , @itsplatform , @kbn_knitwear and yours truly, for the BUILDING THE ARK series, has created a captivating interplay of art, science and design 🎨⚗️📓which honours Olivia’s guiding concept: FUTURE. 🌎🌍🌏 Olivia Ruben’s mesmeric, unorthodox designs nurture her core principles of transparency, provenance, accountability, salvaging, questioning and positive impacts. 💫💚💪 All the garments featured were made from either organic, upcycled, recycled or responsibly sourced materials. Just imagine all those back & forth emails 📩+ phone calls 📞 put together to investigate all the production details required for this ultimate look!!! ♻️♻️♻️ This is so much more than just a fashion look. It's a living (both figuratively & literally 🤣) tangible, ravishing evidence of research vigour 🦾 & rigour. 🧐 🙆‍♂️🙅‍♀️🙆‍♀️ Together, we knitted our unapologetic, hopeful visions for a sustainable future 🤩🌎, where garments are loved & nurtured by Spartan designers, conscientious manufacturers and informed individuals. 👩‍🌾👩‍🏫👩‍💻💚🌍💚👩‍🔬👩‍🎨👩‍🔧 #planetbeforeprofit #wecandoittogether #alwaysquestioning #wearableecosystem #regenerativesustainability We’ve been spoilt by everyone who helped make our microbe babies thrive. 🦠😊 Thank you so much to all the great souls involved in this project: Photography @keirlaird Makeup @mvbrownmakeup Hair @chrissyhuttonhair Styling @harri.ks Model @vcoscielniac @theoscoutcast
