Green This Season - Digital Conscious Fashion Magazine Issue #3 | Page 3

2 EDITOR’S letter Working on this issue can best be described as fabulous! Really, the minute you mention the words recycle and upcycle everybody seems to come up with some seriously fab examples, one more impressive than the other. I actually ended on a recycle-high one of those days. I received an overload of websites to visit, and believe me one even better than the other. Recycled bike made from cars, recycled furniture, recycled kitchens, plastic objects, you name it, it seems to be recycled. The list is almost endless. IT MADE ME REALIZE ONE THING, RECYCLING IS JUST COOL How easy is it to just throw away products and stuff. We often do it without even thinking about the potential of our waste. And wow… does that waste have potential with. We dedicate this entire issue on recycle and upcycle hoping it’ll inspire you to look at waste a bit different. Maybe make a little time and recycle something, you’ll see it’s actually a lot of fun. You’ll tap into a whole new creative side of yourself. Read Naomi Maaravi’s story. Her story is so inspirational, it covers her journey from Holland to Israel and tells you where she got the inspiration for her recycle collection. And yes, of course some of her cool and edgy unique story-telling-styles are available here at greenthisseason.com If you live in the Netherlands and if you are a conscious fashionista for sure you must know Lynsey Dubbeld.
