CLÉMENCE ORGANICS

When Blue Mountains naturopath Bridget Carmady couldn’t find gentle yet effective skincare for her clients, she took matters into her own hands and created Clémence Organics. Brimming with rosehip, camellia oil and other natural wonders, her naturopathic range makes use of certified organic ingredients for effective skincare that’s a delight to use.

“This is what happens when you’re looking for something extraordinary!” ⭐️

We wholeheartedly agree with Tina of @Twilly.By.Tina, this stunning set is far from ordinary!

From Tina (translated and edited from German):

“IT’S PARTY TIME… I was looking for something fancy, uncomplicated and with a dose of elegance. @QualityTextiles managed to almost drive me crazy with this viscose satin. Then there was the next step, and you know it all too well... finding the right pattern to make the fabric come to life?! 🤔

It occurred to me that @PeppermintMagazine and @Elbe_Textiles had co-produced a beautiful dress a while ago - the #PeppermintMaxiDress. And you won’t believe it, it’s FREE. I decided to pay something for it though. According to the motto ‘what costs nothing is worth nothing’. I’d say the bill has gone up! 😃

And so I don’t get too cool in the evening, I also made the #TallulahTieTop from @SwimStylePatterns. You decide how you like to wear it! Knot it in the front, knot it in the back!”

When we asked environmental-scientist-turned-photographer @MarnieHawson what keeps her motivated each day, she told us: "My why is a pretty big statement: ‘I’m in business to bring back nature’."⁠
⁠
Marnie took this beautiful photograph of Kate, a bare-nosed wombat who was orphaned when her mother was killed on the road. A passer-by saw the pouch moving and took the tiny Kate (weighing just one kilogram) to a carer. Later, at @EmeraldMonbulkWildlifeShelter, Kate met her best friend – an orphaned wombat of a similar age, called William. Wombats are much happier in pairs and the two are now inseparable. 🫶🏼⁠
⁠
"I decided to start a personal project that saw me travel across the country to raise funds for some of our precious wildlife carers," says Marnie. "These dedicated individuals give so much to our native animals and I want to support them. The concept was simple – visiting wildlife sanctuaries, taking a portrait of one animal in care and donating 100 per cent of profits from each sale directly back to that wildlife sanctuary."⁠
⁠
Based in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, Marnie has forged a creative niche from her passion. Read more in Issue 61 (link in bio). ⁠

Now that’s a bag of tricks! 👌🏼

From @intocarry.co:

“Finished piece came out better than expected…
♻️
This piece aims to hero the types of waste we don’t think twice about throwing out… soft plastics, plastic bottles and broken hardware.”

"As well as telling stories about Country, our clothing is designed to care for Country through sustainable manufacturing approaches. All designs are hand screen-printed onto biodegradable natural fibre fabrics with water-based inks, which are made into quality garments by local manufacturers in Australia. The clothing is designed for longevity and our packaging is plastic-free. All offcuts from the production process are turned into accessories by @SecondStitchMelbourne, a social enterprise powered by women who are culturally and linguistically diverse."⁠

With the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair just around the corner (held 9 to 11 August 2024 on Larrakia Country at the Darwin Convention Centre), we were excited to take a sneak peek at the fashion action in the lead-up to the much-anticipated Country to Couture runway shows – DAAF’s annual showcase of First Nations textiles and fashion design – which takes place on 6 August ahead of a jam-packed week of art, workshops, performances and panel discussions.⁠
⁠
Comprising over 20 collections packed into two incredible shows that bring together emerging designers and established labels, we had a chat with Brisbane-based Amanda Hayman from @MagpieGoose.Au – a longtime favourite of Peppermint– about their collaboration with Ewyenper Atwatye (Hidden Valley) @TangentyereArtists. Expect gorgeous dusk colours inspired by equally stunning landscapes, and fun, versatile pieces that tell stories of culture and Country.⁠
