| New Vegan Fashion Label Aims to “Cut the Industry a New One” - VegNews Posted: 14 Apr 2019 04:06 AM PDT  The owner of Los Angeles-based vegan fashion boutique Vegan Scene recently launched a sustainably sourced, women-run, all-vegan fashion label. Legends & Vibes was born out of a desire to create vegan alternatives to mass-produced, animal-derived apparel. "As a vegan boutique owner, I struggled to find vegan clothing brands that not only met our high style and ethical standards but were at a price point that our customers could afford," Vegan Scene owner Amy Rebecca Wilde told VegNews. "If consumers cannot find or afford vegan and sustainable fashion, what's the point? That's when it became clear that we had to launch our own fashion line." The label offers styles that combine sophisticated edge and feminine glamor with a soft Southern California vibe. Pieces include the Oakwood Romper with a v-neck cutout, long, cold-shoulder sleeves, and pockets; the Valencia Dress with a flowy, relaxed fit, and scoop neck; and the Eastwood Jacket made from corduroy with a detachable faux shearling collar. Wilde's designs were inspired by vegan deadstock—excess fabric from mills, garment factories, and bigger brands buying more than they need. "Instead of creating more waste, we turn these bolts of fabric into limited collections," Wilde said. "Using deadstock fabrics means sometimes production runs will be really small, but in a world of fast fashion and mass-produced apparel, there's something really special about knowing only a few women will get to have that garment." After two years in the making, the Legends & Vibes Kickstarter campaign is the first step in Wilde's plan to begin sustainably scaling and increasing production, and to get her product in a mix of small, local boutiques and big-box retailers across the country. Wilde isn't shy about her intentions: She wants to make sustainably-sourced, vegan fashion the future. "We aim to cut the industry a new one from top to bottom by creating systemic change in making informed choices that start with what materials we choose to use, how we source them, where we turn them into garments, and how the workers are treated," Wilde said. Legends and Vibes' first collection is available for pre-order until April 20. Want more of today's best plant-based news, recipes, and lifestyle?  |

If you're looking for ways to reduce your own clothes consumption and move away from fast fashion (fashion that is cheaply and quickly produced to follow trends), take inspiration from these fashion accounts on Instagram - they all promote eco friendly fashion and offer tips for getting more life out of your current wardrobe as well as finding ways to shop more sustainably.

| Posted: 13 Apr 2019 09:59 AM PDT Not sure what to wear to this year's RBC Heritage? Here are some quick fashion tips The biggest social event of Hilton Head Island is back for its 51st anniversary. RBC Heritage is about to bring more than 100,000 people to Harbour Town this week to watch a some golf on one of the nation's favorite islands. If your eyes aren't on the course, they're probably on the outfits (see some of last year's best-dressed and fashion trends). The Island Packet will have a fashion blogger every day of the tournament again this year, spotting out the best-dressed ladies and gentleman on the course, so the pressure to look good is on. If you're picking out your outfit this week, here's a quick guide for all ages to stick to. 1. Don't be afraid to wear bold patterns and bright colors. Some Hilton Head teens previously told us "The crowd should look like a bag of Skittles." You may not need to go that dramatic, but Lilly Pulitzer dress and other vibrant prints will definitely be making an appearance. Of course, in contrast to the bold patterns, some women will break out their white pants and the grand debate of "When is it OK to wear white?" will resurface.  2. Opt for flowy, looser clothes rather than tight-fitting ones. We're partying in a subtropical climate here, you'll be happy you chose this route when you catch a breeze every now and then. Dresses are a popular choice for this kind of outfit, but rompers and jumpsuits have been on the rise these past couple years.  3. Skip the tall-heeled shoes. Heritage involves a lot of walking and standing. Many women who have worn heels to the event in the past will probably tell you they regretted it. In most cases, when it comes to shoes, comfort triumphs style. Avoid the blisters and wear tennis shoes or comfortable sandals. 4. Bring a cute bag or clutch to complement your outfit and carry all your things for the days, but be sure to keep it small. PGA has its own tournament bag policy and it's pretty specific. You can bring any bag into the tournament if it is smaller than 6'' by 6'' by 6'' or you can opt for a clear bag that's under the size of 12'' by 6'' by 12'' or a one-gallon plastic freezer bag. 5. Top off your outfit with a floppy hat. It'll keep you stylish while protecting you from the sometimes unforgiving South Carolina sun. Bonus sun-protection points for also sporting sunglasses and sunscreen.  6. Have some plaid on standby — especially for Saturday. Heritage has pushed the "Get Your Plaid On!" theme encourage visitors to wear outfits inspired by the iconic red tartan jacket the tournament winner receives. Some people really go "mad about plaid" and deck out their entire outfit while others have opted for a shirt, skirt, or small addition such as a plaid ribbon around their floppy hat.  Heads up: If you need some motivation to get styled-up this week, The Island Packet will be covering fashion all week and picking the best outfits each day and you could be featured.  Lana Ferguson has covered crime, police, and other news for The Island Packet & Beaufort Gazette since June 2018. Before coming to the Lowcountry, she worked for publications in her home state of Virginia and graduated from the University of Mississippi, where she was editor of the college newspaper.  |
