Forest Threads Fashion Show —Clothing That Cares
Posted by EMMA STEVENS

Untamed is excited to announce a unique collaboration with Ali Clark of Ali Cat Arts, a talented local artist, and Wildsight, a dedicated local charity that protects biodiversity and promotes sustainable communities in Canada’s Columbia and Rocky Mountain regions.
Wearable Art for a Cause
Together, we've created a stunning line of wearable art. Each piece tells a compelling story, highlighting a unique aspect of the natural world, fostering a deeper appreciation for this region's breathtaking yet fragile natural environment. Our goal is to promote sustainable fashion through these beautiful, one-of-a-kind creations.
A portion of every sale directly benefits Wildsight's vital conservation programs, funding initiatives like wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, and educational outreach that inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. By choosing to purchase from this collection, customers directly contribute to the long-term health and vitality of the Kootenay environment while investing in beautiful, locally created art.
Ali's artistic vision perfectly complements Wildsight's mission, raising awareness and appreciation for the wild spaces we cherish. Each clothing piece is thoughtfully designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, allowing customers to proudly wear their support for conservation. This partnership not only showcases our community's vibrant talent but also empowers consumers to make a positive environmental impact through their purchasing decisions.
Art, Community, and Sustainability
This collaboration demonstrates how art can support community values and local causes. Each piece serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world, underscoring the tangible impact of our choices on the planet. Through thoughtful design and sustainable practices, we aim to highlight the beauty and fragility of our environment, encouraging deeper reflection on how our actions resonate through the ecosystem. Our collection, designed and crafted with intention, addresses the pressing need for mindful choices in a world where fashion's impact can be far-reaching.
The partnership between Untamed, Ali Cat Arts, and Wildsight creates a powerful synergy, exemplifying how local businesses and passionate individuals can unite for the greater good, fostering a sustainable future for art, fashion, and the environment.
