Zara Jade Underwood: The Phoenix of Fashion & Heartache

“I use fashion as a vehicle for healing the planet? What about my heart? That’s a work in progress.” 🌹🔥

Once upon a time, on a runway, I was just a girl with scissors and a dream- stitching my heart and soul into every seam. Now, I’m a Sustainable Fashion Icon, but trust me, the story they don’t tell you behind the organic silk and upcycled lace...

The Un-Sustainable Love

His name was Luca (or maybe Lorenzo? Goodness, does it even matter?), a sculptor who sculpted marble and my heart into something fragile. We met at a flea market in Paris, bonding over vintage Levi’s and bad life decisions. I believed in us more than I believed in zero-waste fashion for three years. Then one humid Milan summer, I found the texts to her- a gallery curator who had a new talent for stealing more than just art. 💔

I burned the couture gown I hand made for his birthday in my bathtub. The smoke alarms went off. So did I.

The Rebirth

Fashion saved me. And not the glitz and glam- the nitty gritty. All of my tears turned into creating a line from found fishing nets and dead stock fabrics. Vogue called it, “a rebellion in linen.” He called it, “a phase.” Surprise, surprise, but now Meghan Markle wears my dresses.👑

But love? After Luca came the musician (who wrote songs about me… and his backup singer), the chef (who literally lost his salt), and the tech bro (who NFT’d our breakup- yes, really). Every heartbreak became a stitch in my latest collection, "Fragile: Handle with Sustainable Care."

Why Would You Want to Follow Me?

Because I’m not just a designer. I’m a survivor- of fast fashion and faster lovers. My feed looks like slow style with raw confessions. You can expect How to tie a trench coat like you are hiding from your ex 💃, Why mushroom leather is more trustworthy than men 🍄, or The art of crying in an eco-friendly bamboo fibre shirt (biodegradable tears only, darling).

Warning: My life is 50% compostable chiffon, 50% emotional chaos. But isn't that fashion? 💋
