Another New Zealand fashion label that takes on prints. Miranda Brown brings colour into sustainability but most pieces are at a higher price for the garment. This is because not only are they made fro organic fibres they are locally made in New Zealand.

I feel that the range of garments and labels of sustainable resources and fair trade manufacturing has increased immensely since I first started researching sustainable fashion three years ago. However it still has a long way to go before sustainable fashion becomes just fashion or normal. I want to join the ever increasing amount of sustainable designers with my commercial mid market collection.
