Vogue has come out with 10 brands you should keep on your fashion agenda if, like us you care about the environment. Not al of these are vegan, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction to push awareness in the fashion world who is generally not very coherent when it comes to respecting the environment and animals’ suffering.
Edun is a companys et up by Bono and Ali Hewson in 2005. EDUN’s mission is to help build Africa as a viable source of production for fashion. All their products are Fair Trade, 100% organic cotton. On the expensive side but you’re sure all the money goes to a good cause: development of a community-based work and awareness for environmental issues in Africa. A new men’s line s set to hit the shelves in May. In the meantime you can browse their bargain section where you’ll find these interesting t-shirts.

People Tree is another interesting British company heavily based on Fair Trade, they actively support 50 Fair Trade producer groups, in 15 developing countries, provide training to artisans and their organisations so they can improve their skills, and strengthen their businesses and social impact.In this case though, their womenswear is more interesting than their menswear. Watch out every single item because not everything is vegan as there is some wool in their creations.
The most interesting and daring designer though has to be Christopher Raeburn whose creations are made out of recycled parachute textiles.

More on the issue of what is Ethical Fashion in the posts. It seems as if the fashion industry is churning out “eco, organic, bio” items which have little to do with the real intention behind these labels. My rants will follow.
