Has anyone in WA noticed the trend towards “Green Fashion”? Our very own Western Australian Harmony Douglas has! Harmony first started her ‘fur’ label in 2009 with the move towards non-disposable fashion. Disposable fashion is such a huge issue in society and we are glad to see that we have such a smart and sustainable designer amongst us that actually has sense of business!
Fur is natural, biodegradable and highly durable. What better way to move away from those cheap throw away bargains all of us so desperately scramble to get, than to save up those pennies, purchase an item such as a fur from Harmony & Lawson that can potentially last a lifetime and add some style back in our lives. If any of you are not yet aware of this trend, please take a chance to sit down and read “Green is the New Black” by Tasmin Blanchard. It is the way that fashion is moving worldwide and if we don’t become aware of it soon, WA is once again going to be left in the dark!
Harmony & Lawson (H&L) has a quaint 19 styles of jackets in her collection to date, and they are all HAND-MADE! It is hard not to notice the success and impact that these recognisable pieces are making. Scroll down to see some of the celebrities that are IN LOVE with their H&L pieces. As a statement of true style, the H&L jackets can be worn with so many different outfits, and can be added to your once boring wardrobe, and make it come to life!
Exciting for us H&L is stocked in East Fremantle, Fremantle, Mt Lawely, Leederville, North Perth, South Fremantle, Dunsborough, Pinarra and Mandurah. For the exact stores please email: furs@harmonyandlawson.com. Prices are very reasonable ranging from $399 - $1280, with most pieces typically around the $700 - $800 AUD mark.
With WA designers stepping up their game for 2011 we are seeing a number of Autumn/Winter Collections already ready to go. Stockists have started ordering their items to retail for next season and garments will be at your fingertips in a matter of months. We are so proud of how the Perth Fashion Industry is evolved and so SO so excited & proud to have amazing labels such as Harmony & Lawson coming out of WA.
