Iceland vol 4 - Picnic on Videy Island

Hello! Here I am and this is my last Iceland photo story from this summer. Oh, that country is worth to see. During the food photography workshop we had a great opportunity to visit Videy island in front of Reykjavik. We were hosted by Aslaug Snorradottir. She and our workshop teacher Aran Goyoaga made and styled us a perfect picnic.

Aslaug used wild edibles in cooking and those plants and herbs look absolutely adorable in pics too. 

Try something new - PURE WASTE Textiles by Paula Malleus

Eco fashion. Yesterday evening was the WASTE SIDE STORY fashion show at Teurastamo in Helsinki. It's been a while I've been in fashion show and the reason is quite obvious too. I want to support more ecological fashion. 10 Finnish fashion brand created designs made of recycled fabrics by Pure Waste.  

Atmosphere was excited.  

On the catwalk we saw designs by Arela, Burlesque Tsunami, Haldin, I Made This, Liisa Riski, Poola Kataryna, Nurmi, Pogostick Failure, Riivari and Paula Malleus/Remake EkoDesign.

There were a lot of great designs and I specially liked the lappshoes made of recycled denim. My absolutely favorite was of course those feather crown drama queens by Paula Malleus. Most of the designs were perfect for everyday use. 

As I wrote in headline - try something new. For me it was to use IG pic photographed by phone in this post. Didn't have the real camera with me...and secondly I want to courage you to think again before buying cheap clothing because they don't support anything but consuming. I admit that time to time I buy them too but much less than before. There are a lot of shades of grey in this topic if you know what I mean. I like/try to find my clothes from flea markets and I also try to buy eco fashion. It costs more but you don't have to buy them often. You just have to use them with care. I also make some clothing by myself and you can also make new clothing from used ones. Go and see how it is possible. That's about it. 

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
