It is clear that not only is the fashion industry becoming more aware of the effects that it makes but companies are also becoming more aware across departments. From bags and clothes to water bottles and coffee cups, people are buying into products that they believe are best not only for their conscience but are best for the environment, the long-term.

THAILAND/CAMBODIA/VIETNAMS INFLUENCE REFLECTION

THAILAND

Bangkok: The smell was intense & unpleasant. The streets were heaving with homeless people. The Grand Palace was beautiful but overcrowded. Mango and sticky rice was my new favourite dish. The rubbish was everywhere and trying to find a bin was VERY difficult. Colours that resonate: Brown, Black, Dark Green, Grey.

Chang Mai: The elephants were magnificent. Lady Gaga & Ronaldo were the babies. Transported in big red trucks.  Colours that resonate: Red, Brown,

Pai: The bridge that connected our hostel to the town was broken. UV paint and beer. Rabbit cafe for coffee. Caves, Canyon, Hot springs. Colours that resonate: Red, Green, UV.

Krabi: Blue sunset. Colours that resonate: Blue, Pink.

Phi Phi: Monkey Island. We stayed in a room in a tree. Swam with fish. Colours that resonate: Beige, Blue, Green.

CAMBODIA:

Siem Reap: The first image is of a man called Long. He took us by boat to the Kompong Pluk floating village.

Here, we saw children playing in the dirty water, houses built on stilts for when it rained and ate lychees with the locals.

Cambodia taught me that we, who live on the western side of the world, do not need anything, we want, everything. From this, I realised just how much of what I had, wasn’t a necessity.

VIETNAM

Dong Hoi: Vietnam consisted of a collection of colours and friendly people. The locals were so friendly and enthusiastic about people. Fashion here wasn’t a priority, just as I’d witnessed in Thailand and Cambodia.

I went through massive clothing markets: halls full of clothes from top to bottom, enough to make you feel claustrophobic. We bartered for prices which signified the little worth the items held.

Hanoi: Here was one of the nicest, most lovely places I’ve ever visited. We walked the streets of the old town and saw an endless amount of lanterns, all brightly coloured.
