Sustainable fashion on the catwalk When Liza Mutch entered the 2020 Recycled Runway competition she was after one thing – the inaugural Ashlee Lauren Sustainable Fashion Scholarship. Turns out the competition went to script for the 22 year old, who has been an advocate of sustainable fashion for years – a habit she learned from her mother. “I honestly don’t buy new clothes – I always shop at Op Shops,” Liza said. For Liza the 2020 Recycled Runway competition, which was in its eight year, was her first foray into the sustainable fashion showcase that also raises funds for ac.care and the Uplift Project, and despite her love of second hand clothing she had never created an entire outfit before.
“I have made plenty of things but never the complete outfit,” Liza said. “I once made a top out of Nike socks.” That being said, it means one thing’s for sure – Liza was never going to be short on the creativity and innovation required to create an entire outfit from outdated second hand clothing from the Bell Tower Op Shop. Entering the competition gave Liza a chance to really road test her 2019 Christmas gift – a sewing machine – and while she admits she has a long way to go, it was great to get a glimpse of what she could achieve .

Up for the fight The advice from the Medhurst family is simple - don’t ever think about not going to the doctors, no matter how minor the issue. It could save your life. And they are optimistic that is what has happened for Kym, who is now battling leukaemia, but with a [positive prognosis, having caught it early. His symptoms? Just one tiredness – feelings he put down
to be 55 and overweight. So in the end, it was a routine visit to the doctor in May that set the wheels in motion for the rollercoaster ride the family is now on, as the already famously close knit Medhurst clan, band together to support Kym (pictured) through his treatment and predicted recovery.
