It might be easy to believe that instances similar to the one in America don’t happen here in Australia, but the fact is that this is happening everywhere. Facing our own shortcomings is difficult but important. Milo shares that the most important thing is that people are trying. “The change isn’t going to happen unless everyone is talking about it.” Ignoring the problem or staying silent about the problem only hurts the problem. It’s important that we are aware of the issues that are occurring in our own country. Milo agrees that one of the most important things we can do is learn and help people learn. 

Our first interview is with Tatiana, from @styledbytati. Having recently relocated from San Francisco to LA, Tatiana is a black stylist and business woman who works with like-minded creatives to produce high-quality editorials, music videos, and imagery. Tati was generous enough to share personal insight into what is happening in America right now as well as her personal experience as a woman of colour in the fashion industry. 

I first met Mel at Brunswick Street Gallery during an exhibition for Fashion Week in 2015. She is the ultimate rock n’ roll, Fitzroy Mum. Despite having 3 boys, she manages to always keep up an appearance at all the HEW runway shows and exhibitions and is widely known in the Melbourne community as a huge supporter for the young independent designers.

Recently Mel has launched her own brand ‘Run to Paradise’, which captures the fun and free-spirit of an island escape, without having to leave our real lives in the big smoke.  It pays tribute to her childhood, growing up in Melbourne and Brisbane as an Aussie girl with Samoan heritage.

 As Mother's Day approaches us, we are featuring some mother's in the HEW community. Today's feature is on Suzi Kyriakdis who we collaborated with for the SS19/20 accessory collection.

Suzi is a manager, buyer and trend forecaster with over ten years in the retail industry working for iconic Australian Brands across apparel, swim and accessories. Majority of the range has been hand made in Melbourne by Suzi. Each piece uniquely hand-formed, with subtle variations in bead and natural pearl tones ensuring each piece, is special. We sat down with Suzi for some Q&A

 

You might be at home, but that's no excuse to wear a boring grey hoodie. Even when you are relaxing in a comfy tracksuit, it should be fun! 
This is why our repurposed tracksuits are the perfect outfit for lounging in iso. They're made with Gots's certified organic bamboo/ hemp/ cotton, making them super soft and warm. 
When you purchase one of our HEW tie-dye lounge pieces you can be confident you are supporting local business, for they are all sewn and dyed in Melbourne, Australia. 

It’s the long weekend and you are at home by yourself. Usually, you would be out celebrating this weekend with friends - going to restaurants, camping, catching up for dinner. You can tell no one is visiting anyone this easter by the copious amounts of chocolate on sale at the shops. No one is buying chocolate eggs because they have no one to give them to. Of course, you can participate in a household easter egg but what else are you supposed to over this long weekend at home? 

I started to compile a list that is keeping me busy that extends further than scrolling tik tok 

Our latest GOTS range was recently seen on the industry go –to for sustainable and ethical fashion, Claire Press. Here at HEW, we value sustainable clothing, which is ethically produced. From the manufacturers to the fabrics, we care about the details of our garments at every stage of the farm – to – factory process.
