25.01.2022 More joy and less of the rest ~ Meet @realprettykind . The super intelligent and down right lovely Katie Rockliff, Founder and CEO of @realprettykind came to me at the very beginning of her brand (with a purpose) after a long successful but no longer fulfilling career in the fast paced advertising world. Katie a mum of a young daughter who already at the age of 4 was strongly influenced by said advertising world, Katie wanted to foster a different kind of conversation tha...n what already existed when it came to marketing brands within the tween market segment that her daughter and all of her pals had been exposed to at a young age. Katie wanted her brand to have an authentic voice, one that tweens could really relate to, creating a strong bond with her highly influential audience and in turn building 100% trust with this market. . As I discovered through Katie’s admirable stringent market research of brands that we’re already talking to girls and boys in the tween age bracket (8-16 years old) that there was a serious lack of gender neutral, cool, streetwear inspired basics that weren’t plastered with slogans/logo’s that simply didn’t resonate with their market at all. full stop. no questions asked Katie had found a niche. . I invite you to discover more about Katie's journey and her down right fabulous designs for tweens over on the blog today, thefashionfuturist.com/blog. Here we have Inès totally rocking the @realprettykind Electric Bucket Hat, Rainbow Sparkle tee + Paint Splatter tote. But don't stop there swipe right to see my hands down fave tee in the range, the Electric Breton #realprettykindlovesyou #thefashionfuturist #fashionfuturistfriends #fashionmentor #fashionbusiness See more

24.01.2022 GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK ~ give back to your much loved fave pair of jeans and our planet this Friday! Green really is the new black this Black Friday November 23 thanks to @citizen_wolf who will re dye your favourite pair of jeans free (yes, you read that correctly). On the biggest shopping day of the year the Sydney-based ethical brand wants you to refrain from buying stuff just because it’s on discount and instead refresh your unloved jeans and keep them in rotat...ion. Why? Because the longer we wear the clothes we already own the better it is for the planet. WRAP UK estimates that we can reduce the original carbon, water and waste footprint of our clothes by 20-30% for every 9 months we keep wearing them. And according to Citizen Wolf’s own research, 1 in 5 people replace their black jeans simply because the colour has faded, which is criminal considering Australians on average already landfill 23 kg of textiles per year. It takes around 7,547 litres of water to grow and process the cotton to make a pair of jeans, but it only takes 5 litres to re dye your favourite pair black again and make them good as new says Citizen Wolf Co-Founder, Zoltan Csaki. Citizen Wolf is built on the twin ideas of durability meets timeless style, and aims to reboot our relationship with clothes away from disposability. Citizen Wolf allows their customers to create made-to-measure T-shirts they love and wear for years, and we all know nothing pairs better with a Tee than your favourite pair of jeans. The first 250 people to checkout via the Citizen Wolf Black Fridye page on November 23 will get free redyeing valued at $29 not including postage. @citizen_wolf will send a reply-paid envelope to ship your jeans and within a few weeks you’ll get ‘em back perfectly black, yet oh-so-very green. #citizenwolf #ethicalclothing #ethicalfashion #greenisthenewblack #blackfriday2018 See more

13.01.2022 Dearest friends & followers, It's all been a little bit quiet on the social media front for me here at The Fashion Futurist studio over the last couple of weeks. I've taken some time away from outside influences to consider what 2019 looks like for me and my lovely and very valued clients. During this time I made the decision to officially re-locate to our nations capital at the end of February to pursue the dream of bringing a permanent... bridal concept store to life called @mrs_fray. I’m really excited to jump back into the world of bricks and mortar retail and provide a beautiful experience for women, not unlike what you all foster with the brands you've built or are dreaming of bring to life. There will naturally be a small period of transition as I settle into life in Canberra. Most of my work will flow quite naturally online as a lot of modern businesses operate these days. I plan to make monthly/bi-monthly trips to Sydney to accommodate in-person mentoring sessions and host buying appointments. Life really is too short to not throw yourself at an opportunity when it presents itself and I do hope I might inspire you and others to take a chance on an idea by sharing insights along the way. Thank you in advance for your wonderful support as I start to bring my own retail dreams to life ~ Amy x Image taken by me at the first @mrs_fray pop up at the @nishigallery in Canberra last October, featuring @millicentelizabethlabel, @natalijaofficial_ and @baserange.store.melbourne #newbeginnings #thefashionfuturist #mrsfray #bridaconceptstore #retailcanberra #fashionretail See more
