Earth Ethos – Aveda Earth Month by Amanda Lewis

Aveda is augmenting its Charitable credentials when Aveda stylists from around the globe each volunteer eight hours of their time to offer ‘Appointments for the Earth’ (including all salon services) in return for a donation to Earth Month. The Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa in London’s Covent Garden will be supporting this worthy global initiative by hosting a Cut-A-Thon and Beyond Salon Takeover on Monday 7th April

Aveda supports communities around the world with a commitment to raising $6 million for clean water in 2014. Aveda professionals in more than 30 countries have collectively raised more than $32 million in support of Earth Month since the campaign’s inception in 1999. To date more than $26 million has been directed to support hundreds of clean water projects on six continents.

Funds raised by Aveda UK will benefit local Earth Month partner WaterAid – a charity with a mission to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world’s poorest communities. WaterAid is an international non-profit organisation established to helping the world’s poorest people gain access to safe water and sanitation in 27 countries across Africa, Asia, Central America and the Pacific region.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side with Christopher Shannon for Dune Shoes

Christopher Shannon A/W14 Collection

After two great designer collaborations with Joanne Stoker and Kat Maconie for their Ladies range, it’s now the fellas’ turn and who better for Dune to turn to, then the rising star of British Contemporary Menswear, Christopher Shannon.

After showing a blinding collection for Autumn 2014 in January Christopher is firmly establishing himself as a name you really should look out for and in their infinite wisdom, Dune Shoes haven’t wasted any time and have had the foresight to work with Mr Shannon now.

Christopher’s AW14 collection explored his take on old school tracksuits with giant floral motifs on anoraks with sleek leather track trousers. Sleeves were sewn onto the back of short shorts or to the side of a track jacket, signalling a nod to the early years of Thatcherism and the post-punk era.

His collection for Dune is inspired by footwear shapes he would personally wear. With colours ranging from optic and sporty to more formal classic tones. Shannon has chosen a complementary mix of materials, with the shine of textured patent next to the richness of suede particularly standing out. Light- weight handcrafted sport inspired EVA soles feature heavily alongside hand stamped leathers for a high quality finish on the boots. Classic cup soles feature on the pumps and slip-on’s to give the collection a futuristic urban edge. Christopher has chosen to name each style after a town in his birthplace, Liverpool.
