Fashion Revolution Week
It used to be the norm for fashion houses to have 2 releases a year: Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. These days that is much higher. Most fast fashion companies have weekly releases. Fast fashion may be a great way to access trends cheaply but there are major costs associated with it to the environment and the people who make them.
The collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh that took the lives of over 1000 workers is just one example of the inequality of fast fashion.
So, let's slow down and look at an alternative:
Slow Fashion considers the materials used, how the garment is made and who is making it, in order to be ethical without compromising on quality.
Sassind works off 2 releases a year, Tamara and Craig Ryan have visited the factories personally and have forged strong business relationships with their suppliers, they conduct quality control check of the facilities up to 6 times a year, work solely with natural fibres and design garments to last season after season.
So where do you stand? Fast or slow?

Team Goals 2021
Normally at the end of the year Sassind will reflect on the year that was. But, like all of you, we're pretty ready to shut the book on it and move on. So in the spirit of looking forward, here are Sassind's team goals for 2021.
The Reason Behind The Names
With a near total ban on international travel for the year, why are the style names of the SS20 collection after exotic cities? Tamara shares her thought process in this short but sweet blog post.
Cate's Closed Border Bucket List
When the world shut down but Western Australia was lucky enough to remain open, Sassind staffer and Perth resident, Cate, decided to make the most of this gift and began her 'Closed Border Bucket List'. See where she had been, where she is now and where she will travel next. And maybe it will inspire your travels when the world eventually open up again.
