68 lbs to Go Go Go

For the past few seasons Eco Fashion Week has been challenging local designers to transform 68 lbs of unwanted clothing into a collection featured during fashion week. Very happy to say that Young Oak will be taking on the challenge this April!

While I was chasing storms in Arizona I received two boxes of the most exciting goods from Japan!

Nothing gets my brain storming like these vintage kasuri kimono silks. getting oh so giddy.

A Perfect Pairing YO x Park

YO / Young Oak is so excited to be pairing with PARK legwear for EFW.

Designed and manufactured in Winnipeg's historic Exchange district PARK apparel is all things right.

Nothing Like a Deadline

After amassing (ahem, hoarding) a room full of vintage potential projects it is time to edit and redesign the lost and forgotten fashion of yesteryear. Just in time for Eco Fashion Week. There is nothing like a deadline to get something started!

To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.
