Peppermint Magazine
Peppermint is Australia's first and only eco-fashion mag. Printed on 100% recycled paper, 5% of profits from this issue go to the Australian Red Cross, and 1% of annual profits go to environment charities. Every page of this mag is lovely to look at - a great coffee-table read that won't date like other fashion mags do.
The cover of issue #9 features Amanda Rootsey, eco-activist and vegan warrior. The cover image is part photograph, part artist's drawing.
Plus:
- Interview with Akira Isogawa, Australian fashion icon;
- Kids fashion;
- Fair trade coffee;
- Super role-model Jacqueline Pascarl;
- Vintage fashion;
- Baked relief;
- Interview with David Suzuki;
- Alternatives to the consumption economy;
- Sewing tutorials
- and lots more!
Did I mention how nice this mag smells? Really. It smells like natural, recycled post-consumer paper and reminds me of blancmange, not like virgin forests turned into bleached pulp.
