However, it is probably true that most of the ethical brands tend towards the young (and skinny!). They also have a lot of jersey (because there's a lot more decent jersey out there in organic or Fairtrade cotton than there is decent woven fabric in the same).<BR/><BR/>I just had a sneak preview of Anatomy's range for SS09 - gorgeous tailoring, including that desired pencil skirt, made in the UK from peace silk and hemp.<BR/><BR/>There's also some lovely shirting around in Fairtrade cotton that hopefully someone will make some smart City shirts (a la Pink) from at some point soon.<BR/><BR/>CalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-87762319951597284592008-08-07T10:47:00.000+01:002008-08-07T10:47:00.000+01:00I don't get the whole ethical non-leather thing-is...I don't get the whole ethical non-leather thing-is it for vegans (in which case I will personally ignore-surely it's good to be using a meat by-product anyway) or is it something to do with the chemicals used in the process?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-11488359910402127922008-08-06T21:34:00.000+01:002008-08-06T21:34:00.000+01:00you could try Julia Smith label - she does some lo...you could try Julia Smith label - she does some lovely tailored suits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-54647903689487400582008-08-06T18:02:00.000+01:002008-08-06T18:02:00.000+01:00I'm a bit surprised by this.

It seems like the most logical beginning for an ethical clothing company would be the basics that people build wardrobes on. With ethical foundation pieces, one could wear ethical clothing on a daily basis and could also reduce their consumption of clothing to be more "green."Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840377765937929376noreply@blogger.com
