Wear Next
Clare Press invites you to imagine and participate in, the future of fashion in her book Wear Next. We can’t wait to dive into our copy, but first.. some of the rich points of conversation from the Brisbane launch hosted at Avid Kitchen & Garden by Peppermint Magazine!
“There will be your answer”
There is no one solution, we all have unique talents and ways of working that we can use to change the world of fashion.
We need to lead change in the fashion system by demonstrating “it’s more fun over here!” Here being designing, creating or using fashion sustainably.
“All clothes are handmade. It’s about how much we value those hands.”

About Clare’s gown:
Clare’s gown is made from only the good stuff (NO PLASTIC). Just fabulous silk, cotton, and Swarovski ✨
Silk twill floral print from @wall_fabrics dead stock fabric
Cotton and silk threads. (Most garments are sewn with a thread that’s a blend of cotton and synthetics.) Silk organza internally to stabilise NOT synthetic fusing.

Emma wears:
The Penelope gown which is now available made from entirely of biologically circular materials! Zero hidden plastics - right down to the threads. Natural fibres that can be returned to the soil after a long lived life! The cotton fabric of this gown is particularly special. It has never left Australian shores. Grown, spun, woven & sewn here. This single source cotton was grown at St George by the Rogan family of Australian Super Cotton. Australian Super Cotton is fully traceable and EcoBiz certified! It is cotton grown under regenerative farming practices which we are able to source from B Corp Full Circle Fibres. Preorder here.
