Jeff Garner–Ethical Vision

 

Jeff Garner is a man with a vision for the future and a mission to make clothes that are not only beautiful but also eco-aware. This is why he started Prophetik. His passion for ethically sourced and made clothing is truly awe inspiring, its this passion that has led to Hollywood director James Cameron and his wife Suzy getting behind the brand and now they’re two of his biggest and most high profile supporters. Everything about his garments is ethical even down to the dyes he uses to colour his clothing but you don’t have to take my word for it. You can hear it from the man himself.

In this short film he shows you the processes involved in the making of his designs, hear his reasons for starting Prophetik, observe the design process and even watch catwalk footage from shows in both the USA and the UK. After watching this video you’ll understand why I’m so in awe of this inspirational man and what he’s doing at Prophetik to change the face of fashion and hopefully you’ll fall in love with him just like I did. He truly is a visionary.

London Fashion Week Day 1

So I'm finally home from London Fashion Week I only attended the first 2 days as I didn’t want to leave my kids for too long. I have to say I had a brilliant time. For me though the thing that made it so fun was hanging out with the other bloggers.

My day began at 12.00 pm with the Prophetik show. It was a brilliant experience and the show was mind blowing. I was sat just a few rows back from the catwalk. They began the show with an exhilarating performance by an energetic violinist. The passion she displays while playing is truly inspirational.

Then it was down to the actual show. The telegraphs fashion director was sat front row just seats away from the fabulous Disney Roller Girl. The collection itself was amazing with a distinct Georgian feel to it in vibrant hues in luxurious fabrics. The garments are very earthy and scream of romanticism you can actually imagine running through a forest wearing their dresses with the earth under your feet. The best part of all is that Prophetik is an eco conscious brand and is also a fave of Colin Firths wife Livia.

I really love these girlies they are so friendly and welcoming.

After we’d rested for a while we were joined by super knowledgeable Katie and had a look around the masses of exhibitions where I was totally besotted by the work of designer Elizabeth Lau.
