Style, Naturally: London + ethical fashion on the London scene

Garner and I. Dress done in collaboration with Elephant Art + Prophetik. Beach Blanket Babylon

As with any busy schedule, I’ve tried to keep up with blog posts, but some just have a tendency to slip right by in the midst of everything else going on. Figured that it’s about time to highlight the cool series of events happening over on the London scene. I definitely got my fill of ethical fashion during February – from Estethica to Prophetik’s show at Beach Blanket Babylon; Made-By’s UK Launch to the People Tree  Foundation launch during Fair Trade Fortnight. Show standouts at Esthetica were for sure Mark Liu (Zero-Waste Design), Raeburn Designs (re-purposed military gear), Minna (delicate, feminine detailing) and Beyond Skin (vegan footwear). Noir showed during London Fashion Week (see below), but got some designers panties in a bunch because they aren’t as “green” as the other labels. You can totally tune into the low-down on the event on Discovery Earth Live.

I did a soft launch for Style, Naturally at Esthetica and later at Beach Blanket Babylon alongside Prophetik’s show (seen above in first picture). Have the pleasure of an ambassadorship with two cool new programs out of the UK – including Made-By, an umbrella label (originally founded in the Netherlands in October 2004) that helps other brands track-and-trace and become more transparent along the supply chain – as well as Safia’s People Tree Foundation. I’ll touch upon both of them in an upcoming post on planetgreen.com, so stay tuned!
