people tree.

of course i'm still being sustainable in my practise by using second hand fabric. i have managed to save the same fabric i've used in my samples; a blue and pink woven check from the flea market. it's lasted all my project that fabric, and i'm pleased i've got some left over as vivienne westwood is all about the check.

i have been researching into other sustainable clothing companies today, and the one i found most interesting was people tree.

they're a fair trade fashion company;

'For every beautiful garment People Tree makes, there's an equally beautiful change happening somewhere in the world.

We like to think of it in terms of our little shoots-and-roots motif. We provide you with exclusive fashion - the shoots - while at the same time we work deep down through the roots, improving the lives and environment of the artisans and farmers in developing countries who work to produce it. It's Fair Trade throughout. Simple.'

i really admire the work they do; http://www.peopletree.co.uk/content/ecology.php
