EAT SO THEY CAN

THETHREADLOOP.jpg

The Thread Loop, founded in March of this year by social entrepreneur Jo Blundell, is a retail store that brings together an impressive assortment of fashion forward ethical labels. The Global Volunteer Network Foundation (GVN), based in the United States, offers volunteer opportunities in community development projects throughout the world, giving people a chance to affect change globally. The Thread Loop has partnered with GVN Foundation’s annual fundraiser, Eat So They Can (ESTC), to raise funds in support of their work with marginalized women and children in Africa, Asia and South America. The Thread Loop will donate 10% of its profits from every sale between now and 17 October 2010 directly to the ESTC fundraiser, with shoppers automatically entered into a drawing to win one of four $50 shopping vouchers.

United by a shared passion for the environment, Guy Bedarida, Creative Director and Designer of John Hardy, and supermodel Angela Lindvall have partnered to create Hijau, a line of recycled and sustainable silver jewelry for the John Hardy Bamboo Collection. Hijau, which means “green” in Balinese, is inspired by the stunning look of sliced bamboo, resulting in the ultimate representation of beauty, creativity and sustainability.

 
 
FABRIC INNOVATIONS

MISERICORDIA2.jpg

Some of our favourite brands will be using exciting fabrics for their newest collections.

Ideo goes scrap for Winter 2010/2011 with a mix of recycled fabrics. The materials are recovered from textile factories in France and are completely shredded in order to obtain new threads in any desired colour. The threads are not dyed, thereby avoiding the use of chemical products and the conservation of water used in the dying process. Lastly, the manufacturing process from the collection and shredding of the scraps of fabrics, the confection of the recycled to the confection of the garment takes place in Europe, all of which reduces transportation CO2.

MEET THE PODOLLS

JOSHPODOLLSPRING10.jpg

More than a century after Emily Davison threw herself at the mercy of the king’s horse in the name of women's suffrage, you’d be forgiven for hoping that it’s only Michelle Obama who still forces herself to play the vicar’s wife role of tracing her husband’s mighty steps with a plate of cucumber sandwiches. The wealthiest novelist in Britain is a woman (JK Rowling), the poet laureate is a woman (Carol Ann Duffy), and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition was recently curated by a woman (Tracy Emin). Why then is Lauren Podoll letting her husband front their highly successful, jointly run, ethical fashion brand, Josh Podoll, and thus confining herself to the image of secretary or worse - muse?
