SUSTAINABLE SHOW
The first Sustainable fashion show on the official LFW catwalk schedule showcased key looks from established and emerging designers working sustainably. The show was held in partnership with START, an initiative by The Prince’s Charities Foundation to promote and celebrate sustainable living. The partnership reinforces the BFC’s commitment to sustainable fashion through its Estethica initiative. A significant number of designers from Estethica showcased their S/S 2011 collection as part of the first Sustainable catwalk show on the London calendar.
The show was held in Friary Court, in St. James’s Palace on Friday September 17th, the first day of London Fashion Week, to celebrate START’S ‘A Garden Party to Make a Difference’. This pioneering festival saw the gardens of Clarence House, Marlborough House and Lancaster House opened to the public from 8th-19th September to learn from the experts about living a greener life and to raise awareness of sustainability through music, comedy, fashion.
Attendees to the sustainable show included over 400 journalists, celebrities, designers, retailers and models to celebrate and support London’s position as leaders in designing and promoting eco-sustainable fashion. Featured designers included Dame Vivienne Westwood’s World’s End Collection, Stella McCartney,
From Somewhere, People Tree,
Junky Styling,
Henrietta Ludgate and
Christopher Raeburn, to name but a few.
