🌞 I am back from holidays (for few weeks only): it was a Time to Disconnect, Reflect, and Reconnect 🌊 Are you enjoying the summer? From my hand, I absolutely love summer. It's the perfect time to unwind, enjoy my vacation, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of work. ☀️🌴 However, even in these moments of relaxation, sometimes work catches up with me, especially once I work at Vestiaire Collective. One thing that often crosses my mind is the staggering amount of clothing waste we produce daily. 🌱♻️ As I walk along the beach, I can't help but imagine the discarded clothes scattered along the shoreline. It's a vivid reminder of the impact our habits have on the environment. This realization isn't just a fleeting thought—it's a call to action. 🌍💡 Being mindful of our consumption and making sustainable choices is something we can all contribute to, even in our personal lives. Let's take this summer to not only recharge but also to reflect on how we can make a positive impact. Small changes in our daily habits can lead to significant improvements for our planet. Together, we can create a more sustainable future. 🌱✨ And you, what happens to your fast fashion when the vacation’s over? Wishing everyone a wonderful and thoughtful summer! 🏖️🌺 #vestiairecollective #sustainability #banfastfashion #holidays

In Iceland, staying prepared is a way of life.    It may still be August, but we’re already thinking of the colder days ahead. At 66°North, we’re always preparing for the winter chill that’s never too far away. Our clothing is crafted for comfort and protection, no matter what the season brings – whether it’s a crisp autumn breeze or the harsh winter wind.    One piece we’re particularly excited about is the Dyngja vest. Named one of "this week's best new Scandanavian fashion arrivals” by Vogue Scandanavia, Dyngja isn’t just a vest; it’s a reliable companion for those unpredictable days. Designed equally with city life and outdoor adventures in mind, Dyngja makes the transition from summer to winter a bit more bearable. Our focus extends beyond just style and durability – though we’ve got those covered too. Circularity is at the core of everything we do. The Dyngja vest is filled with recycled down, repurposed from used clothing and bedding. This not only reduces waste but also gives new life to quality materials, all while keeping you warm. As summer winds down, we’re ready for what’s next. After all, in Iceland, we know that being prepared is half the battle. #66north 

On #sustainablefashion / #sustainableclothing .... This is a throwback, 11 years ago..same dress, same person, same sentiment = contentment While I believe I have not really reached the best of sustainableliving , what is more assuring is that I am trying ... While many feel repeating outfits is a #soreeye, i formly believe in reusing and repeating for years and years.. Not only does it save money, but it aids in saving resources, fostering sustainable living.... This comes with #lifestylechange & #mindsetchange.  - No shopping for a dress since past 9 years , just basic shopping for functional clothes.. Basically not giving into the consumer-culture driven by the West   - Made it a point to fit into my dresses, which means following a fit lifestyle with exercise & right nutrition  - Not get bogged down, no pressure to live up to fashion trends, be your comfortable open self.  - No time and energy wasted in mindless 'window shopping', opening up more avenues for creating pursuits  - A sense of purpose and wellbeing knowing that I am trying to make a difference  - Financial prudence- "invest not spend" attitude, ensuring a stable future lifestyle - Less resource utilisation trying to help foster the wellbeing of the planet While it may not be practically possible to give up certain lifestyle elements it is about taking small steps and identifying what you can do for becoming a #betterplanet and #betterperson !

Happy St. Pat’s Day early! I’m an Irish (& French Canadian) girl at heart. So, I’ll be celebrating and wearing green on Sunday 😃 Wearing green is one thing. “Being green” is another. When I say “being green,” I mean living and working in accordance with what supports our planet’s health. Naturally (non pun intended 😂), there are many ways to support our planet. Lifestyle-wise I can choose to use fewer energy resources or nurture plants that better the air quality or bike rather than drive my car. Work-wise, KAUTE chooses very purposefully to “be green.” By… 1. selecting certified organic fabrics 2. working with micro-factories (<10 people) in L.A. 3. using local resources (photographer, model, assistant, location) to complete its first photoshoot 4. launching its first product this spring via “preorder,” which negates over-production This is not to say that KAUTE is perfect or the most sustainable fashion brand. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TRULY SUSTAINABLE FASHION BRAND. Why? Because whatever we do, we use resources. The questions then become: How can we better use our resources? How can we improve how we use resources? How can we constantly get better at supporting our planet’s health? THESE QUESTIONS, in a nutshell, ARE WHAT KAUTE’S JOURNEY IS ALL ABOUT. In addition to designing beautiful, versatile pieces, we want answers to these questions. Just as you may want to know: HOW EASY IS IT BEING GREEN? It’s instinctually very easy for me as someone who grew up in the mountains. As a founder of a fashion business? It’s instinctual, but challenging. Right now, the industry is still not set up to nurture our planet’s health. This is changing, and has changed since I first started selling my upcycled creations a decade ago, but it’s not there yet. And, so THE JOURNEY CONTINUES! KAUTE will ramp up again in the coming weeks as I continue prepping every detail for launch. Wear green, be green, try on “being green” and stay tuned. You definitely want to experience this next stage in our progression! xo, K 😎

🌿As I relocated to a new country last year, I was unexpectedly introduced to the beauty and advantages of a minimalistic lifestyle. It's remarkable how redeeming it can be to realize how little we truly need to lead a comfortable and fulfilling life. 🛍️Material possessions have a way of accumulating, often without us even realizing it. More clothes, more shoes, and countless other items seemed essential at the time. Reflecting on my belongings back in my home country, I can't help but question: Did I really need all of that? The pursuit of a minimalist lifestyle has become more than a choice; it's a conscious decision to declutter our lives and focus on what truly matters. 🌏One of the remarkable advantages of embracing minimalism is its positive impact on the environment. By consciously choosing to live with fewer possessions, we reduce our overall consumption and contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. Less stuff means less waste, and in a world where environmental consciousness is crucial, every small step towards sustainability counts. 🧘🏽♀️Beyond the environmental benefits, adopting a minimalistic lifestyle has opened the door to personal growth and improvement. With fewer material distractions, there's more space for mindfulness and the pursuit of meaningful experiences. The process of decluttering not only simplifies our physical space but also declutters our minds, allowing for a more focused and intentional way of living. 🙌🏽Here's to embracing the beauty of simplicity and finding abundance in the essentials. #minimalism #lifestyle #environmentalsustainability #minimalistic #lifeadvice #lessonslearned #lifestylechange #lifestylechoices #newbeginnings
