Ethical Dressing? Can’t say that I had given too much thought to it in the past as it always looked as though it would be ‘hippy’ clothing in orange linen. However, all that changed when I attended a seminar with speaker Elizabeth Laskar. I’m not going to write down all the details about Free versus Fair Trade as it’s probably well documented already. What I did get excited about was the notion of recyling your clothes by redesigning to make new and totally different outfits. Elizabeth was wearing a fabulous suit, made out of a combination of 2 over-large suits she picked up at a charity shop for a total cost of £10. I love the idea of wearing totally unique clothes that no-one else can buy, especially if they are also value for money and ethical into the bargain. She mentioned a boutique called Junky Styling in Brick Lane. As a big Westwood fan, I need to pay it a visit as it’s edgy designs are just up my street www.junkystyling.com.  Take a look at their new A/W08 collection – it’s fab. One of their female clients had a wedding dress made from her father’s old shirts! That’s certainly different. Other places to try include: Ciel’s in Brighton for the slightly avante garde as well as your staple garments; People Tree – a green ‘high street’ clothing catalogue; Howies –  for sporty types and the men in your life; Terra Planna  -  shoes; Green baby -  infants and children; Edun – courtesy of Bono’s wife Debbie Little,  for top notch Japanese type quality and Juste  – Bangladeshi silks used to clothe the sophisticated and chic.  There is much more to it than I originally though and I believe it will continue to grow. So go and check it out for yourself.
