psi̱foforías me portofólia mas

Fashion.  

Love it. Hate it.


Contradiction? Yes... and No.


We either have to fork out excessive amounts of money for ethically
produced clothes or attempt to ignore the costs the environment and
our exploited neighbours pay for our new clothes.

FOSvintage is advocating for another way by providing another option.
FOSvintage intends to rest in this tension... embracing fashion for all its
beauty and excitement while being MINDFUL & AWARE of the price paid
for each and every item we buy.
We want to make their stories count
peace by piece.

When we see what people easily discard here in Australia, we are reminded of the abundance that we have.

By withdrawing your support from brands and companies who don't
consider the damages their manufacturing is having you are essentially
saying that you don't agree with their decisions and you are
advocating for another way.
Be encouraged that you have the ability to be the change you wish to
see in the world, all you have to do is vote with your purse.

Our first collection is available on eBay right now but be quick biddings close on saturday
