Saint Mojavi Drops Fashion Collection that Promote Chic Style and Sustainability

Saint Mojavi is a Los Angeles based ready-to-wear label focused on reducing their eco-footprint through thoughtful production practices.

Saint Mojavi was founded in 2018 by Hawai’i born designer, Teresa Pinedo. Since the start of the brand, Pinedo has been extremely passionate about reducing excess waste and made this a key component of the Saint Mojavi ethos. The brand was also recently highlighted on Forbes as one of “Four Sustainable Fashion Brands You Need To Know.”

Pinedo incorporates pre-loved fabrics into each collection — these fabrics are mainly sourced from local mom & pop shops who no longer need it. Many fabrics are re-worked into multiple Saint Mojavi collections, bringing new life to past materials in various ways.

One example is how Pinedo re-invented a colorful plaid seersucker fabric from her “La Cartagena 2020” collection into the “La Escapar 2021” collection. Fashion loves can see how she used this fabric to create a tri-color patchwork print for classic styles like the Cieza Tee and Talavera Tube Dress.

In practice, no fabric goes to waste at the Saint Mojavi atelier in Downtown Los Angeles. Extra scraps are used to create fashionable accessories like bucket hats, gloves, and even reversible face-masks. In addition, last year Saint Mojavi removed their wholesale partnerships and became entirely “Made to Order,” significantly reducing excess fabrics and packaging. Even the buttons on each piece are either sourced locally or are vintage so that nothing ends up in a landfill. Going forward the brand will also be using fully biodegradable packaging.

Saint Mojavi also has a growing list of celebrity fans, including Kendall Jenner.

French Fashion Couture House LA METAMORPHOSE Launches Luxury Perfume Collection

 

French fashion couture house LA METAMORPHOSE launched a new luxury perfume collection, and its theme is based on the numbers that make beauty. Everything in nature is measurable and subject to numbers and a number is the essence of all things. To know the world and its regularity means to know the numbers that rule the world and thus to see the truth about ourselves and our existence.

Pythagoras was the first one to notice the appropriate pitch ratios in musical intervals, explaining them by the fact that music is, in a way, mathematics. The order of the heavens also expressed itself through the musical spectrum. Pythagoras believed that numbers somehow rule the world because different phenomena could be reduced to numerical relations. Hence the numbers that explain the universe.

Based on these concepts, the woman wearing the La Metamorphose No. 4 fragrance is said to be open and willing to discover her place in the universe. Looking for answers, ready for what life and good fortune will bring her. Number four is strength and delicacy encompassed in the secret of life of each of us. Searching for harmony and endlessness of your own soul

In addition, the woman wearing the La Metamorphose No. 6 fragrance is said to be charismatic and courageous, but at the same time realizes everything in a delicate and subtle way, without losing the value of her heart and the openness of her soul and mind. She is mysterious and undiscovered like a flower. Every day she blooms in her femininity again, trying to achieve the most beautiful version of herself, and thus, dazzles and remains eternal.

La Metamorphose 4 description by the Perfumer:

The delicate scent of a blooming rose emphasizes femininity and sensuality, while the jasmine breath of a spring flower takes us to the memories of holidays and moments spent on the French Riviera. La Metamorphose 4 is a fragrance for a delicate and romantic woman who wakes up each morning with a smile on her lips, waiting for what the day will bring her… Maybe a new love, an everlasting romance with life or just beautiful and unforgettable moments…

  • Fragrance Head notes: Rose
  • Middle notes: Lilly of valley
  • Base notes: Jasmin

La Metamorphose 6 description by the Perfumer:

A classic rose, complemented by the sweetness of lilies, provides the basis for elegance that lasts forever. On the other hand, jasmine, filled with the dryness of wood, adds class and sophistication to a woman who wears this perfume. La Metamorphose 6 is a fragrance for a self-confident woman who pursues her goals and realizes all her plans. Charismatic and courageous, but at the same time executing everything in a subtle way, without losing the delicacy of the heart and open-mindedness. She is mysterious and undiscovered like a flower, as she blooms in her femininity every day, striving to achieve the most beautiful version of herself.

  • Fragrance Head notes: Rose
  • Middle notes: Lilly of valley
  • Base notes: Jasmin and wood

Fortnum & Mason’s Sailboat Chocolate is Bringing You 99% Emission-Free Luxury Chocolate

If you think things are moving too fast, then Fortnum & Mason has some news for you. They not only get their own chocolate direct from the source in the Caribbean, but they also do it on their own sailboat! That’s right, a slow-going sailboat. A luxury sailboat.

The general idea is that this helps make the brand the world’s first ’farm to store’ 99% emission-free chocolate. The project is a collaboration between Fortnum & Mason, and the Grenada Chocolate Company in partnership with Chantal Coady OBE.

In addition to the wind-powered boats delivering the chocolate made from Trinitario Cocoa beans, they also come in fully-recyclable boxes.

We’re waiting for the client option to sail on the boat in the Caribbean while eating bars of this sustainable chocolate. (hint, hint)
