Eco Fashion World

J-14 to the biggest event in eco fashion: for the 5th year running, the Ethical Fashion Show in Paris will be gathering the international cream of the eco crop in the fashion capital for a four day shopping, learning and networking event from October 9th to 12th 2008.

This year, EFS is moving into its new digs in the Carrousel du Louvre, the sleek salons that also hold many of the Prêt-à-Porter and Couture collections at different times of the year. More than 100 exhibitors from all over the world will be showcasing their novelties to the great joy of professional buyers and the public alike. This, indeed, is one of the things that makes this show unique: although it’s a closed professional event for the first two days, it then opens to everyone for the weekend! An eco fashionista’s dream come true, it’s like walking into a department store full of sustainable style goodness. Of course, eco fashion is as much about making conscious
