Silk Laundry
Silk Laundry, an Australian-based fashion brand, introduces its latest collection, “A View,” merging conservation with fashion to foster “wearable conversations” about sustainable living. The collection is inspired by the brand’s commitment to environmentalism and its carbon sequestration initiative, Project 166, which involved purchasing and reforesting land in rural Queensland.
Founder and creative director Katie Kolodinski believes in the power of fashion to educate the public about environmental issues. Through Silk Laundry’s socially conscious approach to design, Kolodinski aims to spark conversations and shift mindsets among consumers.
The collection introduces new sustainable materials, including 100 percent organic cotton and pure mud silk. These materials reflect Silk Laundry’s commitment to slow and traditional production methods that prioritize environmental sustainability and cooperation with nature.
With prices ranging from $150 for silk camisoles to $650 for mud silk pieces, the collection emphasizes quality, durability, and ethical sourcing. Through “A View,” Kolodinski aims to merge her passion for fashion with her lifelong dreams of wildlife conservation and philanthropy, creating a meaningful intersection between style and sustainability.
