The @lafashionfestival initiative to inspire film makers to create films with #sustainablefashion in mind was a great challenge for all of us being part of the competition. Most pf people today agree that our modern society has to develop in more sustainable ways. This includes how we produce and consume clothing, shoes, accessories and other textiles. Major clothing companies in From H&M to Top Shop have programs in the area of sustainability. Others encourage reuse and recycling. But despite the growing interest in sustainability issues within the fashion industry, currently there is no common definition of what sustainable fashion actually means. We can all reverse engineer in our lives a more conscious fashion footprint. The most important thing is having a starting point.

#Ragretfilm @lafashionfestival Glamour vs Consumer We know advertising fuels our desire for material possessions. We know It promises happiness, but never delivers. We're judgmental of hoarders... even our great aunt. Yet when running the daily gauntlet of buying opportunities online or on foot, we still fall into the trap of thinking we must have that one more thing. And while on the fence, idyllic future self fantasies are manifested of our new life with that item. It helps justify that this "one last thing" is worth making an exception for... and into the cart it goes. All the while personal debts & personal storage boom. Our life can be better enjoyed by intentionally rejecting. So avoid RAGRET and just Say NO! Inspired by the alluring Isabella Blow- Queen of Fashion, elegance, eccentricity and grace. I created her swan like, hand-made outfit and hat out of ordinary recycled and repurposed materials: silks, feathers and tulle. Issy Blow belonged to the English nobility, she used her aristocratic connection to the high society to influence, cultivate and nurture people she admired. She expressed herself freely, encouraged by her husband, Dentmar Blow, yet the misfortune of not being able to have children, inspired her to dedicate her efforts to hone and muse talented people, Alexander McQueen being one. As a antidote to the first dramatic portrayal, we see a casually dressed woman at a retail store suddenly pulled out of a daydream while holding an object she is deciding to purchase or not. That is the question. #laff19 @isabella.blow #isabellablow #isabellablowfoundation #isabellablowfashiongalore shot and directed by @ericsoboleski @idea_farmer music @ssilentstrike
