Welcome to spring and welcome to another season of fashion news – this week's fashion moments seem centred on a strong sense of conscience. We're loving seeing brands make exciting and pioneering announcements in the realm of sustainability, like NET-A-PORTER's first entirely sustainable runway edit with Stella McCartney, and Pandora's pioneering new Lab-Grown Diamonds collections that finally rolled out on Australian shores. And we're equally as excited to see brands vocally throwing their support behind charities for mental health and cancer research, like Maggie Marilyn and Beare Park.

So in case you're behind the news and need a refresher, we've rounded up the fashion moments from this week that we think you should know about.
