Eco fashion has been a tricky subject for a long time due to a number of reasons : it's been manipulated by political messages, it’s in a higher price range, and usually it's designs have not yet been deemed by the fashion press as fashionable or trendy enough.

At the Estethica event, part of the British Fashion Council effort to raise awareness and support for 'Eco fashion', every designer who won the award has a unique and original approach towards fashion design, which also just happens to have the added bonus of being ecologically sound and from a sustainable source.

Go get some ethical fashion!
