This year, the designers have collaborated with King Charles – a royal renowned for his sustainability ethos – to develop a fabric made entirely out of recycled milk cartons from His Majesty’s Sandringham estate.
Following London Fashion Week’s ban of exotic skins – such as crocodile and snake – in show collections last November, VIN + OMI has attempted to develop a sustainable alternative for designers.
While most London Fashion Week runways are set to be flooded with velvet, silk and sequins; eco-design duo VIN + OMI is offering fashion enthusiasts a rather different display this season.
While VIN + OMI is primarily based in Norfolk, the designers’ search for innovative and sustainable fashion solutions sends them all over the world – the pair have just bought an aloe vera farm in the Canary Islands.
“We were sitting with the head gardener in the Sandringham canteen, and the waitress asked ‘do you want milk with that?’ Then it just dawned on us how much milk the average UK person drinks,” explains Omi.
