About ECOLOOKBOOK
The most sustainable clothes are the clothes in your wardrobe. ECOLOOKBOOK helps you to make your next best choice, choosing ethically made and sustainable labels.
ECOLOOKBOOK is a platform for sharing ethical and sustainable fashion and beauty brands from all around the world.
Founded in January 2019 by two Dubai expat eco-warriors, Samantha Dumas and Isabelle Wessollek, with the mission to prove that fair fashion can be exciting and cool with all the benefits of fast fashion but without the damage to our planet, its people and animals.
ECOLOOKBOOK features sustainable and ethical fashion labels, beauty, influencers, where to shop sustainable, and everything in between. Our lookbook offers the latest looks and trends for conscious readers, from people who are just starting their good fashion journey to those who haven’t even thought about sustainable fashion YET.
Our message is simple, sustainable fashion & lifestyle is the new way to go without having to compromise on style while saving the planet.
Meet the Team
Isabelle
Isabelle is a co-founder of ECOLOOKBOOK, who is passionate about changing women's fashion consumption for the better. What started out as a project to achieve this, ECOLOOKBOOK has become not only a business idea, but a voice for influencing change in positive way.
As a mother of 3, she particularly hopes to contribute to fight against child labour in the fashion industry.
As an animal lover it is also very important to Isabelle that we change the way we think about animals and respect them.
In the past, Isabelle always had a closet full of clothes and wore the same five outfits. Today her closet is only half as full, but she still wears the same five looks...preferably a white t-shirt and loose jeans or linen pants. However, that doesn't stop her from finding the most beautiful and exciting sustainable outfits and fashion labels for you every day.
Hannah
Hannah is our youngest member and brand scout. She is always on the lookout for new designers and fashion labels that meet our criteria. Every brand is scrutinised by her and checked for sustainability and fairness. Hannah earned her pocket money by modelling when she was still at school and has been involved with fashion ever since. She herself prefers comfy, stylish and sustainable!
Stefan
Apart from being married to Isabelle, Stefan is also ECOLOOKBOOK's silent business partner. He comes up with good ideas and input for the strategic direction and makes sure everyone gets paid properly! Stefan probably has the most sustainable consumer behaviour of all ECOLOOKBOOK employees. Stefan wears his clothes until they break and can no longer be repaired. He only buys new outfits or other things when forced to do so by Isabelle.
ECOLOOKBOOK's Angels
Samantha
Samantha is co-founder of ECOLOOKBOOK, your good fashion guide.
A mother of three, she is passionate about protecting the planet for future generations and empowering women. And she loves fashion.
Her journey to ethical and sustainable fashion started a few years ago with a New Year's resolution to buy no new clothes for a year. She thought the resolution would last two minutes. That one year turned into two years, a much smaller wardrobe and a change in mindset. ECOLOOKBOOK was born...
Florentina
Florentina was the best example of how not to do it: buying a new outfit every week, not paying attention to quality, generally insanely fond of animals, but not paying attention to animal testing. Not maliciously, it just wasn't in her focus. And then came the first day at ECOLOOKBOOK. It was a shock and the typical AHA effect set in. She didn't realise how much of a burden it was on the planet, how the animals were suffering and the workers. Since then, she wears her clothes more often, combines them in new ways, deals with fashion labels and shops more consciously.
