A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
In celebration of Earth Day, we are recognizing brands pioneering more mindfully made fashion, with a full edit of NET SUSTAIN designs. Mother of Pearl’s ‘Juliet’ dress, for example, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to consciously crafted clothing. The versatile, cotton-jersey midi dress is cut from 95% GOTS-certified organic cotton – the world’s leading textile-processing standard for organic fibers – and 5% elastane for a comfortable fit, while the pretty puffed sleeves are made with 71% Tencel lyocell (a plant-derived fiber) and 29% recycled nylon. It’s ideal for your office-to-off-duty wardrobe and easily transitions between seasons with the right styling tricks. Wear with Mary Jane pumps and a capacious tote bag for work, then swap for sandals and sunglasses come the weekend.
“When I started on my journey with Mother of Pearl, I was one of only a handful of designers really thinking about sustainability and ethics,” Mother of Pearl’s creative director Amy Powney told PORTER. “As my work there evolved, I realized my mission was to make the brand fully traceable and transparent. I think it’s everyone’s responsibility [to tackle climate change]. We all live on this planet; we all consume in one way or another – so, question the world and its systems. Rethink your choices and try to make ones that take into account people, planet and nature. Sustainability can feel overwhelming, but making little choices each day will build up and make a big difference.”
With vacation season swiftly approaching, try Hunza G’s timeless, ultra-flattering, locally made swimwear – the iconic one-size seersucker designs are knitted and dyed in the UK. We love the brand’s vibrant orange ‘Xandra’ bikini, which can be paired with Stella McCartney’s cool, 55% GOTS-certified organic-cotton-blend cargo pants for lunch alfresco. Complete the look with Chloé’s chic ‘Sense’ tote – perfect for carrying your beach-day essentials – then slip on ATP Atelier’s sleek ‘Rosa’ sandals for a refined detail.
