The Canvas NYC Flagship in the Westfield World Trade Center in New York City is showing sustainable Estonian designers until September 14.
In Europe, Estonian fashion design is being put on the map for their commitment to sustainable fashion. Look at fashion designers like Xenia Joost, who makes garments inspired by the Nordic Sea, which are made from excess textiles from the hospitality sector, and Reet Aus, who has crafted over 150,000 shirts from textile industry leftovers—saving over 30,000 kilos of fabric from going to waste.
For those who can’t make it up to the Baltic Sea, there is The Canvas NYC Flagship in the Westfield World Trade Center in New York City.
For New York Fashion Week, The Canvas Flagship and The Canvas 3.0 digital art gallery is hosting a week-long popup of sustainable design from Estonia in partnership with the Estonian Design House. By showcasing the fashion community from Estonia, there are 17 brands that were chosen this year, which are being showcased until September 14.
They include Lent Sius, a sustainable jewelry and clothing brand made in Estonia, which creates “a more environmentally friendly alternative to modern everyday jewelry and clothing,” according to the brand founder Kairi Lentsius.
