i-Sustain: new series of articles on sustainable designers every month from i-D online! This month it's Borders & Frontiers



i-Sustain: Borders & Frontiers

This is the first in a series of features intended to change the way you think, buy, wear and discuss fashion; a bold statement, in fact bordering on evangelical but we’re starting from a place of ambition, working on the principal that if you really believe something yourself, you’ve got a better chance of winning others over.

JUST – Pop Up Shop for Environmental Justice | Earlham Street, Covent Garden | Shop includes PARTIMI



Supermodel and EJF supporter Lily Cole opened EJF's latest pop up shop on Earlham Street, Seven Dials in Covent Garden. The shop is open until the end of May selling exclusive designer collaboration t-shirts by Katharine Hamnett, Alice Temperley, Luella, Giles Deacon, Kenzo, Richard Nicoll, John Rocha, Eley Kishimoto and many more.

The shop includes summer collections from London Fashion Week designers for men and women including Annie Greenabelle, Monkee Genes, PARTIMI, Pants to Poverty and others.
The shop is in aid of the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF).

As well as the campaign to stop forced child labour in the cotton industry, the shop will raise money for an emergency appeal to replace the charity’s boat in Sierra Leone.

The boat is used to track and monitor illegal fishing vessels and as a water ambulance for remote coastal communities which has saved 61 lives in just a year.

On 20th April the Guardian newspaper reported how EJF’s investigations in West Africa have been the catalyst for the Spanish authorities seizing over £4 million of illegally caught fish – stolen from Africa, en route to the EU.

Donated by the Shaftsbury Group PLC in the heart of London’s shopping district, the shop is the fifth pop up venture by the charity whose supporters include Johnny Depp, Lily Cole, Emilia Fox, Rachel Whiteread and over 60 stars of catwalk, stage and screen.
