A pencil skirt, a tailored jacket, a crisp white shirt, nothing says grown up sophistication like a sharp suit. After breaking the myths that eco clothing is drab with our Color Issue and that nothing sustainable comes out of China with our China Issue, EFW is now out to prove that ethical designers do it better in the boardroom.

As we are realizing the devastating effects of an un-sustainable economy, ethical business and transparency will hopefully become the new norm. And in looking for alternative solutions we can do worst than learn from the trail blazing experiences of green designers. We sat down with one such innovator to get the inside scoop: Izzy Lane’s Isobel Davies is the creative force that’s bringing British suits back to their roots. If wool and tweed is not your thing, we’ve found many more sensational picks worthy of today’s working girls from Oslo to LA. By popular demand, we’ve also introduced some of our favorite pieces for all you fashionably green men. Of course, you can shop these items in many of the great stores featured in our guide, but don’t miss London e-boutique Devidoll, where you will find your office ensemble with a good dose of individuality…just because you wear sheep’s wool does not mean you want to follow the flock!
