The People Empowering Ethical Fashion
EVERY TIME YOU SPEND MONEY, YOU ARE CASTING A VOTE FOR THE KIND OF WORLD YOU WANT – ANNA LAPPE
It is Fashion Revolution Week. A week where we can learn and share knowledge about our clothes. What we wear and how it is made. A week to grow, not to judge but to understand more.
Over the last few years we have discovered some wonderful people who have introduced us to sustainable, eco-friendly and ethically made idea, products and fashion brands. Including some who are really empowering ethical fashion. You don’t need to be a brand or influencer to empower ethical fashion. You just need to start looking at #whomademyclothes ?
Below are a few people who empowered ethical fashion for us, we asked each of them the same question – Why is Ethical Fashion important to you? Here is a little about them, and their wonderful answers:

The more we find out about this ethical clothing brand, the more we love it! Read more

Ethical Fashion – A Few of Our Favourites
There are some beautiful fashion brands available, on the high street and online. Different styles and different price ranges. A huge range of ways to make you feel more you. We have become increasingly impressed by the range of ethical clothing brands. Brands that are highlighting the production process and materials used in what we wear. But it is not just about how ethical they are, they also have beautiful, fun, unique clothes. And many are made in small batches or are one-offs, so you wont see lots of people walking passed you in the same clothes.
