Eco Fashion World

Green glitter is in the air, it’s time to celebrate! Last month, Americans made the whole world proud and hopeful by coming together to vote for a new president who represents a real potential for change. Some may say that nothing brings people together like adversity, but the electric current that swept through the world on November 4th was pure joy. So before we pull up our sleeves in the new year to face the challenges ahead it’s time to let our hair down, put on a party dress and celebrate the end of this extraordinary year!

When it comes to party dresses, you could do worst than the stunning red number on our cover, a creation of Ada Zanditon, a new British designer whom we predict will soon take the fashion world by storm, and just happens to be a real eco warrior! If you still want to shine like a star but you have something more subtle in mind, check out our online store of the month EcoCitizen, don’t be fooled by the serious name, the fun spirit of this boutique translates into covetable threads for your inner activista.

But we all know looking fabulous can only take you so far, for your mental happy pill come with us as we take you on a world wide panorama of the year in eco fashion. We guarantee that you will get excited and empowered to see just how much of a difference all your actions can add up to!

And you have! It's time to look at the year behind you and give yourself a big old pat on the back, open that champagne and take a moment to look at what you've accomplished!

What? Who? You don't remember doing anything special?… I'm not so sure about that! Think real hard, did you do at least one of these things this year: Feel the thrill of vintage shopping? Buy a gift in a fair-trade shop? Choose some organic cotton underwear instead of some made from conventional cotton? Carry a reusable bag for your shopping? Said no to fur? Cleaned out your closet and gave your unwanted items to a charity shop?

We can think of no better way to celebrate the momentum and spirit of the past year in eco fashion than by highlighting the sculpturally innovative work of London-based designer, Ada Zanditon. The stand out London College of Fashion graduate is all about originality when it comes to fusing imaginative narrative themes with sustainable materials and fabrication methods. With stints working for Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh neatly tucked in her back pocket, Zanditon is cutting an impressive path though the field of ethical fashion and eco couture. Inspired while a design student by fashion maverick, Katherine Hamnett, it’s exciting to see the bold directions that this up-and-coming star has taken with her ethical collections and novel design concepts.
