Ethical fashion will no longer be a trend that breaks the bank.

Ethical fashion will no longer be a trend that breaks the bank.

Harold Tillman has just recently introduced a campaign to aid ethical fashion brands meaning the price tags on such garments will no longer be so hefty. We all know even the extremely astute fashion followers would be willing to buy into the world of ethical fashion if it just wasn’t so expensive. The higher price tags attached to environmentally friendly garments certainly means not everyone can afford to support the ethical brands despite wanting to. It is so much easier and pocket friendly to dash into a high .street store and pick up essentials, some of us don’t even think twice about it.

Harold Tillman is currently the head of the British Fashion Council and believes such a campaign will help both the brands and the ethical cause. He wishes to source labels that possess a more thoughtful approach to the world of fashion and because of this believes these particularly ethical friendly brands shouldn’t have to pay so much tax. The head believes that by working with such a cause will in turn persuade other brands to work in conjunction with the ethical cause and think about producing a series of environmentally friendly garments.

His theory on giving ethical label tax breaks is sourced from the fact the government currently allow UK citizens to pay less tax on both many sustainable products and energy efficient and environmental friendly vehicles. Other famous fashion faces that are already on Harold Tillmans side include the London Collage of fashion’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion, the infamous Vivienne Westwood, and High street brand Monsoon. Each of these designers will be showing their support by sign up to such a great cause.

Stella McCartney raises awareness for her environmental campaign ‘Meat Free Monday’.

Prestigious fashion designer, Stella McCartney has recently released the second installment of her exclusive GapKids range.  The new line features two one-off tees that will only be availaible to purchase from a few chosen London stores, the new garments have been created in order to raise awareness for the designers environmental campaign, ‘Meat Free Monday’.  The campaign aims to make the public aware of the effects of meat consumption and production regarding the climate-change and how the meat industry is in fact harming the planet’s resources.

The T-shirt creations consist of both a girl and a boy design complete with a superhero illustration and the designers famous Intarsia leopard.  Created using only organic cotton and animal friendly fabrics, Stella McCartney sticks to her strict vegetarian rules.

The First set of kids designs created for the Gap brand were extremely popular and an instant sell-out, we’re sure the second set of younger suited garments  will be as equally in demand.  The designer has said she really enjoys creating collaborations for the label and regards it as a great way for parents to participate in the Stella McCartney clothing brand, as each of the pieces are extremely resonably priced.  The kids range, like the designers entire line, has only ethical concepts in mind.  Being a strict vegetarian the designer refuses to create any of her line using leather, fur or any fabric that causes harm to animals.  These are clothes that have been designed to be worn and not shown off.
