Eco Lux Fashion
Creating luxury fashion by combining together stylish design, social awareness and ecological sustainability is never an easy task but somehow that’s precisely what the Norwegian brand FIN has managed to do. Given the company philosophy at lifeiscarbon®, we applaud the set of principles that underlies everything that FIN create. Their latest collection, entitled Hommage a la mouvement, sees the brand moving into a luxurious direction that the company has dubbed Eco Lux. In other words - luxurious looks achieved via ecologically friendly means. Voluminous silhouettes, intricate pleats and beguiling embroideries create a sensuous, tactile and luxurious look whilst organic materials, fair trade principles and 100% carbon neutrality ensure ecological and social friendliness.
FIN is something of an innovator in terms of environmentally sustainable production and their collections are 100% carbon neutral, only use high quality organic cotton and fair trade principles are followed throughout. The company recently introduced two interesting new fabrics: wild silk and organic baby alpaca. Wild silk is a handspun silk fabric with a beautiful and rich texture. Nonviolent harvesting lets the silkworm turn into a silk moth without killing the worm as is often the case in normal silk production. Organic baby alpaca, one of the most precious and rarest luxury fibers around, is incredibly soft and silky to the touch.
Per Åge Sivertsen, FIN’s chief designer, clearly designed the collection with movement in mind and the result is a confident yet careless look. Despite the luxurious looks, lifeiscarbon® love the hint of masculinity that’s found in the tuxedo inspired blouses and dresses together with the biker inspired jackets and coats. Take a look below at a selection of designs from FIN’s recent collections:
Throughout FIN’s collections, there’s a predominance of matt-black (did we mention that we love black?) accented by the occasional use of core highlight colours such as Ice Flow Blue, Anthracite Grey and an irresistible Chocolate Truffle Red.
In addition to their main collections, FIN have recently launched their first accessory line involving intricate hand embroidered wild silk shawls and organic baby alpaca scarves.
