Nothing compliments this summer’s obsession with the floaty maxi dress like an equal obsession with enormous collar necklaces. Perhaps Quansah had her fingers firmly on the zeitgeist when she made the transition from beautifully embellished textiles to beautifully bejeweled neckpieces, or perhaps it was just a fortunate coincidence. Either way, the resulting accessories are set to put the ding back into the wedding season.

Our team at Eco Fashion World strongly believes in building relationships, forming partnerships, and creating alliances with like-minded people, organizations and businesses in an effort to educate and inform on sustainable fashion. Our family here at EFW is ever growing and changing, molding to the growth and progress of the eco fashion industry while pushing boundaries and doing what we love. Recently, we forged a partnership with Eco Fashion Week Vancouver as they are in full swing preparation mode for fashion week taking place September 28 – 30.
