The fashion industry has always had its challenges with sustainability - I am happy to see that gradual changes are being made and that we are heading in the right direction! As companies shift their focus to help save the planet we now don’t have to compromise style with sustainability, this is evident in my latest cactus garden shoot with the gorgeous python wrap dress from Reformation.

Reformation is for the conscious consumer, they are leading the way for ethical fashion with transparent sustainability practices on chemicals and animal-welfare. “Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. Reformation is #2. We make sustainable women's clothing and accessories.”
