The Conscious Edit - July 2025

Welcome to this month’s Conscious Edit, where I highlight stylish finds, experiences and investment pieces designed to lighten your footprint while making a positive impact on both the planet and your wardrobe…

And this month I’m sharing something a little special… My latest collaboration, a 16-piece capsule collection with Sensi Studio - a vibrant tribute to ethical craftsmanship, sustainable design, and the enduring strength of women. Handwoven by master female artisans in Ecuador, the collection features 100% Ecuadorian toquilla straw hats, bags, and accessories. Each piece supports traditional craftsmanship and sustains a community of artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations.

Inspired by women leading the charge in sustainability and conscious living, the designs pay homage to trailblazers including Aja Barber (whose tireless advocacy for ethical fashion and responsible consumerism has reshaped the industry), Jasmine Hemsley (whose holistic approach to wellness and mindful living serves as an inspiration for slow, intentional style, and Rene MacDonald (the creative force behind Lisou London, a brand renowned for its vibrant prints and commitment to sustainability.) Other influences on the collection include Zeena Shah’s joyful passion for colour, Alexis Foreman’s effortlessly minimalist aesthetic, and Fiona Leahy’s exquisite eye for design and detail, which all bring depth and personality to the pieces they inspired.

At the heart of this collaboration are also some deeply personal family tributes - the Billy Bag and Jake Hat, are named in honour of my sister and mother, both lifelong sources of creativity and inspiration, with other designs named after my niece Willow, and goddaughters Olive, Margot and Piper.

Adding further depth to the collection, many pieces feature vibrant charms crafted from tagua, known as “vegetable ivory” - a sustainable, cruelty-free alternative to elephant ivory. This detail holds personal significance for me, being passionate about wildlife conservation and an anti trophy-hunting advocate. My previous ‘Buy to Give’ fashion partnerships have raised over £75,000 for conservation initiatives across Kenya.

This collaboration is a love letter to traditional craft, conscious design, and the women shaping our world with purpose. Fashion has the power to tell stories and drive change - and with this collection, every thread speaks to that mission.

The Kelly Eastwood x Sensi Studio limited-edtion collection embodies a shared commitment to sustainable luxury and global connection. It is available now exclusively via Sensi Studio.

Hello There: With Nothing Underneath

IMG_7396.JPG

I love to highlight small, sustainable British brands that I truly love - and wear; After living in my throw-on linen With Nothing Underneath boyfriend-style shirt allllll last summer (which so many of you consistently enquired about), I’m finding their recently launched brushed-cotton design just as useful, and sooo cosy... Basically, they are my everyday wardrobe staples, whether I’m spending the day in town, on the beach, or in bed (don’t judge, it’s cold out there...)

Not only does this brand source all its organic material from the Better Cotton Initiative and use plastic-free packaging, but despite being a small company, after seeing a surge in orders after the Duchess of Sussex wore one of their cotton designs to visit the Luminary Bakery, my friend Pip Durell (WNU’s founder), made a generous donation to this London-based social enterprise that supports disadvantaged women, as a way to pay it forward.... Jolly good shirts by a jolly good egg

Hello There: Farleigh io

_DSC0196 edited.jpg

Given our acute awareness of how the linear fashion model of buying, wearing and quickly discarding clothes so negatively impacts both people and planet, there is an increased demand from customers for greater transparency in the fashion supply chain. I for one, am really making a more conscious effort to buy from, and champion ethical and sustainable British designers, and one such brand that has recently come on to my radar, happily just in time for the summer, is Farleigh io, and their stunning ready-to-wear collection of hand-drawn printed mini’s and maxi dresses.

Created for free-spirited women of all ages and sizes, each of Farleigh io’s ethically made, romantic designs look just as great with heels or wedges at a wedding, as they do with a pair of Veja trainers at a festival.

Brilliantly, Farleigh io doesn’t believe in large seasonal drops, instead choosing to slowly add one new design to her beautiful collection each month, with the aim of you treasuring that considered purchase for a long time. The dresses are not only brought to life by local London seamstresses and pattern printers, but also, for every design sold, a tree is planted in Zambia to help offset any carbon emissions made during its creation… Aaaaall the wonderful sunshine feels!
