Wellington Cup's Fashion in the Field

You know we love sustainability, and this year it was awesome to see the racing industry showing their support for sustainable fashion at the Wellington Cup. Trentham Racing Club revealed a new look Fashion in the Field event this year, with 2011 being the first time they have awarded the ‘Sustainable Fashionista’ category.
Clothing and accessories had to be made from ethically produced and environmentally friendly fibres, recycled fabrics and materials. Be locally designed and made, or be reused garments bought second hand or a customised old garment made in to a new one.
Eloise Evans took out the inaugural top prize, with a 1930’s inspired outfit that won over the judges. Eloise crafted the dress herself and teamed op shop accessories with a hat made from vintage millinery.
The category looks set to return next year, so sustainable fashionistas start saving/sewing/recycling your outfits now!
