Fair Fashion Outfit x Exploring Melbourne’s Laneway Street Art

One of my favourite things to do when exploring a new city is to check out some street art. Maybe that comes from growing up in a city like Melbourne, which is full of incredible pieces, and has copious laneways and backstreets brimming with it.

In all honestly, I often don’t really understand the pieces or derive their full meaning, and I could probably only tell you a few of the big street artist’s names.. but, I can appreciate their beauty, and the freedom & power of the art form all the same.

When I was in Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague and Budapest a few months ago, I toddled along on some ‘Alternative Walking Tours’, which all ended up being some of the highlights of my trip. They each included street art components, and the amount of insight they gave me into the city's cultural, historical and political landscapes was really fascinating.

This outfit was from a day spent exploring some of Melbourne’s magnificent street art and laneways, followed by delish curried potato and spinach rolls at one of our favourite vegan-friendly cafes in the CBD, at The Organic Food & Wine Deli.

By Henrietta

Henrietta is the 'daughter' half of the Future King & Queen mother-daughter duo, and is the face you'll find in front of a camera. She strives to live gently on this earth, and to make the world a kinder, fairer place.

Henrietta is a recent graduate with a degree in Commerce + a diploma in French, and has a passion for using business skills to drive positive social change. She works in ethical fashion, and is also a model for ethical and sustainably minded brands (drop her a line here if you'd like to work with her). 

After being vegetarian for many years, and gradually transitioning towards veganism, she attended a panel discussion 2 years ago on the dairy industry (held by Voiceless). From then on, it made complete sense to commit to a fully vegan lifestyle, as a way of being compassionate towards animals, the environment and people.

It was then a natural progression to consider the impacts of her other daily decisions, and so her interest in ethical fashion and sustainably minded living in general was born.
