The Critical Slide Society

//for the love of dirty sliding//

A bunch of rad threads designed by rad humans.

I've typed, re typed and then typed what i typed originally for the past half an hour, and I've come to the conclusion that i can't make this brand sounds any saltier than they already are.

Radness can't be faked or forced. Whilst thinking of scrapping this post altogether It occurred to me that that's exactly why i love this brand and the legends behind it so much, its not faked or forced, they're just naturally stellar dudes with incredibly awesome minds and designs.

I first became acquainted with the brand after a small shopping adventure in Bondi on an "extended" visit. Initially i had planned to spend a weekend in Bondi with mates.. 3 weeks later i was completely out of clean clothes and still sleeping on the couch. I walked into a surf shop to try and find new threads and like always i had ended up in the dudes section...

I picked out TCSS's "Sled Zeppelin" shirt. I was pretty stoked someone had made a shirt that perfectly summed up my dad and i's relationship. I thought about buying it for him and then decided against that idea, and bought it for myself instead.

Utterly stoked with my purchase it became my new favourite item, and i wore it pretty much everyday. I wore it so much that it had stretched to an acceptable dress length which i then continued to wear out most nights.

Fairtale

//For the love of living//


Fairtale is a home grown fashion label created by Fiona Roubin made with passion and sewn together with love. A label which up-cycles and pushes the boundaries of ethical and sustainable fashion. Because people matter and because people care.

After years of working in the fashion industry for brands including French Connection and Valleygirl Fiona made a conscience decision to part ways with "fast fashion"  and create a label that positively affects the world around us and the people living along side it. 

Fiona is a fair princess that saw her land being destroyed by over consumption and has gone above and beyond the duties of just any designer to create a fashion label that re uses vintage garments and fabrics, turning them into new loveable pieces. Clothing that is good for your heart and soul. 

Not only has Fiona created a label she has also stepped out from behind her sewing machine and spoke along side brands including Clean Cut, Patagonia and Ethical Clothing Australia at the well known event Fashion Evolution Day. 

Fiona my spirit sister, is a conscientious and positively active contributor to our environment. An ambitious women with dreams she can achieve.


Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest beauty of them all?
