Profile Information

Profession / role:
Retail Manager & Designer
My primary role in relation to fashion is:
Designer, Retailer, Manufacturer
I am looking to discover or buy
Information & experience sharing. Sustainable fabric wholesale suppliers (to Australia).
About me / About business or organisation:
I started a fledgling label fresh out of fashion college, mainly selling at Young Designer Markets and in a couple retail stores. I design & produce all my pieces at my home-based studio.

Through gaining experience & insight into the clothing industry I am now aware of the many conventional industry practices occurring that are at the expense of the well-being of workers and causing relentless degradation to the environment.

I have chosen to be the alternative to the norm and am therefore working on a business and marketing plan to create a brand new label that expresses my own values of high-quality design and workmanship, longevity, and ethically sourced and produced garments.
Career history / Company history:
I currently manage a retail store for an Australian company that has been established for 40 years and still manufactures the vast majority of their product in Australia. While gaining insight into the industry I am saving capital to start my own Sustainable/Ethical women's clothing label within the next few years.

Hi Naomi. Love your dream of an ethical label, mainly because I share it. I'm trying to build mine to a viable business, though it's a struggle. Where are you at now with your label? I'd love to compare notes with someone trying to do a similar thing.

Hello there Naomi,
I have been working with natural fibres in Nepal for a long time now and can supply you with fibre, yarns, textiles, as well as finished goods. Please have a look at www.heavenhemp.co.uk and www.wildweaves.co.uk to get an idea of what we do. I work with hemp, nettle, cactus, banana, bamboo . Hope to hear from you and would like to be your friend. Take care,
Udaya

Hi Naomi, what is the most ethical, sustainable, constantly fashionable and hard-wearing piece of clothing available. Every woman should have one.
