Here is a green thought? Counting Carbon and not Calories! 👏 🤜 Providing information about how much carbon is contained in a garment, can enhance our understanding of what a carbon footprint encompasses and how it affects the vitality of our planet. 🌍 Garments have labels for its composition and where it was made, so it seems right to provide information as well on its carbon footprint. A global survey of 10,000 consumers has shown universal support for details on a product’s carbon footprint to be included on labelling, according to new research from the Carbon Trust. The 2020 YouGov survey, commissioned by the Carbon Trust, survey 10,000 consumers across France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US. It found that more than two-thirds (67%) of consumers would support the introduction of carbon labelling on products. For the UK, 63% agreed with the notion of adding a carbon label, 😳while 51% admitted that they didn’t think about the carbon footprint of products when shopping. 🤜The sustained and high levels of consumer support for carbon labelling suggests that passing this information on to increasingly well-informed and climate-conscious consumers can also enhance a company’s reputation and market share. #instagood #inspirational #gogreen #fashionmustgogreen #ecofriendly #redesignvalue #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #sustainability #ecofashion #sustainableliving #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainablestyle #climatechange #loveourplanet #bethechange #believeinbetter #consciousfashion #consciousliving #madeinbritain #madewithlove #michaelajedinak#agentforchange #fashionforgood #wearyourvalue # #Fashion #ActOnClimate

Did you know the impact of fast fashion on the degradation of rainforests? 🤜The first is where products, such as leather, are made as a result of deforestation and land clearing (Brazil and the Amazon are hit particularly hard here). 🤜 The second refers to products directly made from forests: manmade cellulose fabrics such as viscose, rayon and modal, as well as packaging. 🤜 These manmade materials are produced via the deforestation of the world’s last-remaining, irreplaceable old-growth forest. 🤜 Three billion trees disappear into packaging every year a n d 150 million trees disappear into viscose every year. That figure has doubled since 2013 and is slated to double again within the next five to eight years.😱 ➡️ Be aware when buying your next dress, top or trousers that when you see viscose, rayon, modal, cupro, Tencel or lyocell, you should question where those wood-based fibres were sourced from. ➡️ Check the composition label what your garment is made of and if in doubt - don't buy. ➡️ Don't buy it ,because it is cute or/and cheap alone. It must have value in sourcing- fabric, and making. * Remember that packaging also originates from forests. 🌳SHOP BETTER AND SMARTER. 🌳Choose products that are made to last 🌳 AND look into ones that require fewer resources #gogreen #fashionmustgogreen #ecofriendly #redesignvalue #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #sustainability #ecofashion #sustainableliving #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainablestyle #climatechange #loveourplanet #bethechange #believeinbetter #consciousfashion #consciousliving #madewithlove #michaelajedinak #agentforchange #fashionforgood #wearyourvalue # #Fashion #ActOnClimate @canopyplanet

I have been featured as one of the many female entrepreneurs in this book: "Female Entrepreneurs, the secret of their success". 💪 🤜 It was written by John Smythe and Ruth Sanders, where I share some experiences and lessons learned along the way. 👏 A wonderful aspect of this book is that all entrepreneurs started different businesses and as well at a different age and still we all share a similar mindset, outlook and will to do whatever it takes to make it work. 🤩 It is a great book to get insights knowledge on what it takes to be an entrepreneur. 🤜 This book is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/371fLPz #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneursmindset, #positivethinking, #doers #mindsetiseverything #beyourbestversion #winnerswin #howtowin #yesican #bosslady #busineswoman #confidentwoman #empoweringwomen #selfhelp #selfdevelopment #selfconfidence #positivemindset #personalgrowth #outlook #mindsetiseverything #leadbyexample #inspiration #agentforchange #ambitiouswomen, #believeinbetter #bethechange #beyourownhero, #bosslady #careerwomen

I was one of the many female entrepreneurs interviewed for a new book on FEMALE ENTREPRENEURSHIP.💪 One of the book chapters I was interviewed for was on sacrifices- this is what I told them: " Being an entrepreneur is like training to be an Olympic champion- you are in it for the long run. You have to work hard and train hard, and you have to do different things to succeed. You have to find funding and support, deal with injuries, and make sacrifices. You can't go to all of your friend's parties and holidays and do all the fun stuff. 🤜And not everyone who trains to become an Olympic champion actually becomes an Olympic Champion. " What do you think? Do you relate to this? #ican #yesican#entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneursmindset, #positivevibes, #positivethinking, #dreamers, #doers #mindsetiseverything #winnerswin #winnerscircle #winwin #winner #howtowin #personaldevelopment #strongwomen #beyourbestversion #beyourownhero #leadtheway #leadership #personaldevelopment

Today is our 7th anniversary of Michaela Jedinak. 🎂 On one hand time has been flying by, but on the other hand it has been an extraordinary time with so much change happening in the world and in the fashion industry. 💪 When we started out the fashion landscape was very different as well in the way it was operating. We were considered as the rebels on a good day and the odd ones the rest of the time, because we didn't follow the rules and challenged instead the traditional retail business concept.👩🔧 🧤We were one of the first to design garments for ambitious business women over 35, who need dress solutions to suit their busy schedules. 🧤We were challenging traditional retailers by designing garments with women's body shape in mind rather for one idealised one 🧤Back then not every retailer had a transactional website- let alone retailers having their own apps. 🧤Mobile e-commerce was not high up the food chain for retailers and customers 🧤A fashion retailer selling directly to the customer by cutting out the middleman e.g. wholesale - as we did 🧤We don't have our own shop, but selling only online with the occasional pop up shop and shopping event - a fact that didn't matter much to our customers 🧤Saying no to fashion shows, big fashion parties, creating uncountable freebies for celebrities and likes 🧤Practising slow fashion and not mass producing upfront- and only have a few sample dresses available to showcase our quality in fabric and make- was very unique 🧤Choosing to produce as well our garments ethical in London within 5-10 working days was a very unique business concept 🤜FAST FORWARD we are committed to rewrite the fashion rulebook & #DEBUNKINGFASHIONMYTHS #fashionentrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneursmindset, #positivevibes, #redesignvalue #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #sustainability #ecofashion #slowfashion #sustainablestyle #climatechange #loveourplanet #bethechange #believeinbetter #consciousfashion #consciousliving #madeinbritain #madewithlove #michaelajedinak #mjstyleilove #agentforchange #fashionforgood #wearyourvalue #instagood #birthday #fashion #instabirthday #instadaily

"Because we're white, we have had privilege. Even the poorest of us have had privilege. We need to recognize that, and we have to understand what it is that keeps racism in place: the policies, redlining, banking policies, mortgage policies." — @JaneFonda #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #icantbreathe #justiceforgeorgefloyd

June is the month that is most popular wearing with wearing prints. It is usually an explosion of "Summer's Botanical Garden". 💐 Some wear it as focus, other's wear it from top to toe and fashion fashionista's love to mix match their patterns for a vibrant unique look. 🤜 How to make them last for many summers to come: Big prints look usually better on taller and/ or petite build women 👍 Small prints look better on shorter and petite build women. 👍 Choose a print design style that flatters your body shape. Wearing the print at the wrong place will add visual volume to your build - meaning you will look bigger than you are 👍 Choose a summer print that is not tied to one summer, so you can wear it for many summer's to come 👍 #summerprints #howtowear #styleadvice #fashionadvice #michaelajedinak #sustainablefashion #consciousfashion #empoweringwomen #fashion #fashionistas #newnormal #agentforchange #wearyourvalue #redesignvalue #sustainablestyle

The lockdown is starting to ease down and I am so ready to rush back, going back in the saddle and go full speed to make up for lost time. 💪 🤜 But this is the moment where I need to pause myself. Life has changed, how we conduct business has changed and fashion is/will redefine its values and all designers have to revaluate their impact on climate change. We had invested into new designs for this season, marketing and events. But we cancelled everything in March including our production. 🤜 The beauty of our business model made to order avoids any pre - production on a speculative base. Therefore we don't have any dead-stock sitting in our warehouses and have not to concern ourself what we do with all the created waste. 💚 🤜 After considering all the circumstances like the slow numbers of people going back to the office women to continue to work from home all life events and conferences cancelled summer holidays/ summer breaks so close by we have decided to skip this entire season since there is not enough justification and need to produce our new dress designs . Plus the window for producing, promoting and selling in June is too short. Last not least July and August everyone will be off to enjoy summer after the lockdown. We are hoping to be back in September, but all is depending how things are developing and where life will be in August. 🙏 Until then stay tuned here. 🤩 #dresstowin #dressforsuccess #bosslady #strongwomen #corporatestyle #chic #michaelajedinak #workstyle #officechic #instastyle #businessfashion #outfitinspo #outfitinspiration #9to5chic #corporatechic #womenwhowork #officestyle #careerwomen #styleadvice #mjstyleilove #womenswear #womensfashion #whattowear #whattoweartowork #yourcareer #readthis #summer #bosslady #empoweringwomen #sustainablefashon

Sometimes I try to visulise how my life would have turned out if I hadn't left my safe life I had before I turned my passion into my business. 🤔 But then I stop myself, because you can't. You simply don't know what life will throw at you? Has anyone seeing the movie #slidingdoors with @gwynethpaltrow ? I highly recommend it. 👍 The only thing I know for sure that I arrived at a crossroad in my life and followed my gut what felt right. #bosslady #busineswoman #confidentwoman #empoweringwomen #inspirational #courage #winnerswin #winnerscircle #winwin #winner #howtowin #ican #yesican #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneursmindset #positivevibes, #fashionentrepreneur #positivethinking #doers #mindsetiseverything #strongwomen #leaders #leadingtheway

Women love buying and wearing fashion logos/monograms and it is the Nr. 1 FASHION INFLUENCER. High- end labels like Fendi, Chanel, Prada, LVMH, Prada, Balenciaga, Valentino, Ungaro follow the business strategy that too much is never enough. So, to advance their proposition they stamp their monograms on everything from hair clips, jackets, bags. What's the reason? 🤜 It is social currency from young to old 🤜 Status and these days social media is its driver, the logos resonating with those selfie lovers who like to show off their heavily monogrammed latest purchases like trophies earned. 🤜 Fitting in with a Fashion tribe My thoughts 🧐 *Big logo fashion can be very trendy, so their fashion life is very short unless they come in a classic design ** For fashion label it is a great marketing strategy to produce limited editions where you can get the item if you are fast enough, then it’s gone, making way for something new. #fashion #Ilovefashon #chanel #fendi #valentino #gucci #prada #designerclothing #instafashion #instainfluencer #styleadvice #fashionlove #fashionista #instastyle #summer #lifestyle #fashiongram #balenciaga

I miss wearing my suits? Why? Putting on a suit sharpens the way I think, thus leading me to perform better. I am more focused and I feel stronger in a " power suit". As a result I can put all my energy into what matters. Everyone is different, but suits are made for me. I love the simplicity, versatility and practicality of them. 🤜 When I was designing our suits feminine elegance was key and comfort was the non negotiable element. The beauty of our designs is that you can choose different fabrics and colours in our design, so you can keep wearing the styles that you like and feel your best. Here is the Brigitta blazer and Serena trousers made in Italian Couture rose pink cotton. A brilliant colour that has the perfect balance for exceeding feminine elegance to perfection. It is a colour that is ageless and will never go out of fashion. ❣️ #bosslady #busineswoman #confidentwoman #empoweringwomen #ambitiouswoment #leadership #confidence #superpower #beyourself #bodypositive #lifehack #instastyle #loveyourself #dresstowin #dressforsuccess #bosslady #workstyle #outfitinspo #womenwhowork #careerwomen #styleadvice #selflove #selfdevelopment #inspiration #mindsetiseverything #beyourbestversion #sustainablefashion #corporatestyle #empoweringwomen
