This is an extremely important topic to us, as mother earth has given us its beauty and vast resources. It's our responsibility, as people of Earth, to love, nurture and protect our planet not only for us, but for future generations.

Fashion, in recent years, has been challenged to do better regarding environmental protection. Wasteful consumption of clothes and trends have led to significant challenges around the world. In my work, now and in the future, sustainable practices are something I strive to always implement and utilise. Transparency is also extremely critical, and it is my promise to you that I will always be transparent with my consumption as a designer and consumer, and challenge myself to do better.

These are some of my action steps to creating more sustainable practices:

• Compostable shipment packages with a focus on reduced 'unnecessary' packaging like single use plastics
• Using AUSPOST, who is reducing their carbon emissions (READ MORE)
• Creating at a made-to-order or preorder basis to reduce chances of unsold products and unused fabrics
• Establishing a product end of life cycle where products can be taken back and correctly recycled, contact support@macraestudios.com for more or visit here
• Offering free alterations on my products to ensure they are perfect for you
• A focus on my 'recycle' line where I give second hand or old clothes a second life
• Transparency and challenging my own consumption of clothing through clear outlines of where fabric scraps are going, product consumption and overall product care
