London Calling
With fashion weeks for the fall 2009 collections in every major city right around the corner, London has caught our attention with two different eco-fashion events.

Pure London showing from 8-10 February 2009 for the first time will have an entirely ethical/environmental portion of their show. Ethical Pure will make its debut inviting back a few sustainable brands that previously showed in Pure London, as well as some new labels on the green scene. With support from the Ethical Fashion Forum, as well as the Environmental Justice Foundation, Ethical Pure has been created in response to the rise in Pure’s visitors stocking ethical brands. Ethical Pure will feature several seminars as well as the clothing brands Alchemist, Amana, Brittinger, EFF, EJF, Enamore, Ethos Paris, Frank & Faith, Ideo, IZZY LANE, Kolam, Makepiece, Nomads Clothing, odd-Organic Design Dose, People Tree, Roshanak Salim, Sweet Blossom, Wellicious and aceessory/footwear brands Artisan Life, Aura Que, Cocowai, El Naturalista, Envirosax, Kazuri, Kisiki, Littleearth, Lotusfeet Accessories, Lowie, Made, Makki, Pachacuti, Pelcor, Simple, The Rubber Cow Co.
