I use Octopus Energy which are a clean green sustainable energy company - if you're in the UK and are curious, here are the two videos I talk about them in:

When i saw the sheer poofy sleeve top at 12:12 the way i started BEGGING at my screen "please pair it with the green waistcoat" and then u did and it looks splendid thank u

THIS! THIS IS IT! I have been calling it Rita Skeeter but JKR can get in the bin. Absolutely here for Ozcore!

You are absolutely right, we *have* been cheated of some glorious post-pandemic Josephine Baker shenanigans! And I love the vision this gives me of a very stylish cleanup crew moving slowly behind the foul behemoth of fast fashion, taking up the sequined dross, and transforming it into self-expression and pure pleasure.

I love when you talk about clothes and fashion. So inclusive, so open-minded, so creative. Can't help but leave this inspired and grateful for what I already have.

First ‘trend’ that actually has me thinking about combining things from my closet in new ways! I’m already into weird fashion vibes (my go-to faves are “pirate off duty” and “literal blanket”) it takes a lot for me to be creatively inspired by a trend, but this did it! Plus my personal theme of the year is “happy lil frog” and I feel like there’s a lot of potential crossover between happy lil frog vibes and ozcore. Here for the intentional mess of it all.

On a related note, Here’s hoping for the visible mending trend to take off more in 2024!

Leena, this is such a genius move ! I live my life quite oblivious of trends and wear my same old classics until they fall apart (also probably possible since the democratisation / parallel existence of trends you mentioned). but with your framing of trends so that they become a tool for a) sustainable fashion choices and b) getting ppl to both jump on the sustainability bandwagon as well as learning to steer it for themselves, i actually enjoy thinking about fashion. so cool!

that ombre dress at 7:50 are you KIDDING??? you made all of them work but that one is on another level imo ❤❤

[NovaWildwood]

leena continues her trend of being a secondhand style icon ✅ you look amazing and green is my favorite color, definitely on board with intentional trends (and finding fun ways to re-use trendy clothes).

[zellalaing]

How did you manage to make everything an absolute slay? I love this. I love layering my existing clothes to refresh how I wear them.

[marmoth]

this is such a vibe. my wardrobe is already very ozian, being mostly royal elf/forest troll-inspired, but definitely more on the mellow, natural side. looking forward to more glamorous greens this year!

[tiaraono]

all of these outfits are so freaking cute! I love them and they are so inspiring. I'm not big into green but I love the textures and combinations of different types of clothes. I'm def going to be putting a little ozcore into my outfits!

This reminds me of how, a few years ago, I decided i wanted to dress like i was in Blade Runner and i made a concerted effort to be a lot more cyberpunk in my outfits. Totally. Worth. It!

[TheLoonyLovebad]

You just made me want to throw an Emerald City themed New Years Eve party

[ottitudes]

omg I love this style!!!! I've been looking into a bit of a punk, solar punk, steam punk, a bit of a goth, a bit of a "forest witch" kinda look and did not know how to match these up, especially on a plus sized figure like mine without being slouchy and baggy, but you ABSOLUTELY nailed what I was looking ty ty ty!!! did i mention my favorite color is green?!?!?! you are a genius!

[ruthiemenzies]

I think it would be cool if we could make it so that the "seasonal" clothes that were available in physical shops reflected the actual literal seasons of the place the shop was. I live in the north of Scotland and the number of flimsy jumpers and thin coats that are in shops just now, instead of warm things is outrageous! it was - 6 C last night! im sure its spring weather for some people some where, but no here!

[saragoose]

The infinity glasses that Elphaba is wearing - I'm OBSESSED...

[sarahannekerley]

Your maxi skirt turned dress, the mood-ring number, just gave me an idea for clip-on straps. Essentially suspenders for just your shoulders. I think it can be done!

[noellekillius]

Ozcore, helenacore... Like please keep brainstorming these because I have never felt so seen by fashion as the ways you've pointed out 🥰

[shelmasubmarine]

I was reading the Wizzard of Oz I've been obsessed with green glitterly outfits
Now I feel home

[erica]

Leena, I LOVE these fashion videos so much. We have super different senses of style but every time I watch one of these videos I leave feeling so inspired and all around absolutely jazzed to get dressed

[flagerdevil]

I don't care what's cool or trendy anymore. If I like it I'll wear it, and if I can't buy it I'll make it. I barely buy clothes from stores anymore, anyway. I thrift instead :)
