SHORELINE REVIVAL: What we wear is washing up on our shores.

This World Environment Day (June 5), we’re shining the spotlight on fashion’s often-overlooked link to plastic pollution.

Shot along the shores of Punggol Beach, early in the morning still littered with single-use plastic—this editorial features one-off upcycled looks by Raye Padit—founder of The Fashion Pulpit, Circular Fashion SG, and Peyar Rework—created using unwanted textiles collected in Singapore.

These upcycled designs—crafted from synthetic fibres and textile waste—are a visual representation of both the clothing we discard and the hidden fossil fuel-based fibres woven into so much of what we wear.

When we think of plastic pollution, we often picture bottles, bags and straws. But the truth is, our clothes—many made from petroleum-based synthetics—are part of the problem too.

Fashion’s footprint isn’t just metaphorical. It’s washing up beside us.

It’s Indigo leaf harvest time here in Bali, and we followed along with Karunia, founder of Bali-based label Rimmba, to learn all about the process.

The best time to harvest this fascinating plant is just before the flowers open. There are over 750 species of Indigo, but only a few produce the beautiful blue hue many of you may hear familiar with.

The Indigo is cut a few inches from the ground leaving the roots and some foliage. After that, the leaves are carefully separated from the stems.

During this process, nothing is wasted—the leaves are dried and used for the dyes, the stems will be boiled and made into paper, and any small shoots will be replanted.

For more of the journey, following along via ’s stories today. Their beautiful designs soon to be curated on ZERRIN.

The Aussie-Japanese model, content creator, and founder of is forging her own path towards conscious living and a more sustainable world—even if it’s not the most popular route to making money as a creator.

While it’s never easy to turn down a pay check—especially when you’re self-employed—Yumika stands firm on her values, refusing fast-fashion deals that go against her ethics.

“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t sting to turn down those opportunities,” she admits. “But accepting them would compromise my principles.”

People, places, spaces. 💚

✨ One of the biggest reasons why we’re still here supporting the growth of independent brands is because we believe in a more democratised, decentralised future for retail.

One where the industry isn’t dominated by bloated conglomerates and fast fashion platforms who prioritise profit over everything 👀 but emerging labels who are also driving positive impact and value for communities and ecosystems.

➡️ There’s a lot of buzz right now about slow fashion brands pausing or closing, and it’s disheartening. Because time and time again, it’s smaller brands and their founders that are making the biggest impact.

It’s not just because they’re naturally more sustainable in terms of supply chain and footprint. It’s also because they’re obsessed with creating the best quality product they can!

♻️ This encourages the much-needed cultural shift we need toward all of us buying better and wearing/using longer, when we do choose to buy new. When it comes to creating more sustainable, circular industries, EVERYTHING starts with better design.

Seeing our community of customers and designers come together in physical spaces really reminds us of that belief!

💌 We’re thankful to real estate partners like Copperdome group who supported this vision and partnered with us to bring last year’s pop up’s last year to life! These editions created access to over 60 local + international brands and hundreds of shoppers across a three month period, bringing a substantial new audience and positioning to while it was undergoing an exciting revamp.

💚 Where would you like to see a future ZERRIN event? Let us know in the comments! PS: We’re actively on the lookout for future space partners. If you see synergies, we’d love to connect.

Every indie brand in our community tells a story. 💭

Nabilah, a dentist turned designer of . Fun fact: we first met Nabilah at a ZERRIN talk! After moving to Jakarta in 2020, being stuck during Covid-19 meant she couldn’t travel back to Singapore as a clinician. This was a catalyst for her being in the right creative space to work on a label. She started to take sewing classes again, which gave me a greater understanding of what it took to make clothes, the importance of patterns and fit, plus the different challenges artisans face during production.

Mahima, founder of . In between growing up in her family’s textile business and working in marketing for one of the world’s biggest luxury brands, she woke up to the devastating impact of fashion. Eventually, she launched SUI to do things the right way and show how incredible sustainable clothing can be.

Nazneen, a Singaporean native with Pakistani roots, embarked on her creative journey after graduating from LASALLE College of Arts, going on to work as a graphic designer, fashion lecturer and creative director. Inspired by the island of Bali—where she would escape to recharge—she became instinctively drawn to the work of local craftsmen. It was experiencing a silver jewellery making class in Ubud, held in a traditional joglo house, that sparked ’s journey in 2015. 

Su Pei, a womenswear design & product development specialist with 14 years of experience spanning premium-luxury brands in Hong Kong, China and Europe, her interest and passion for textiles and sustainability culminated in the setting up slow fashion brand .
