Yay, we won!!

What a great start to the day – 8.30 in the morning and I find myself in West London attending the Cosmopolitan Online Fashion Awards, and guess what, People Tree only went and WON the Best Ethical E-tailer Award.

There’s an interesting irony – no women’s magazine has ever awarded me anything, except for Cosmopolitan. When I was a whippersnapper in publishing they acknowledged me as a ‘women of tomorrow’ – and here I am turning up again like a bad penny, this time in our green guise as People Tree. Thanks Cosmo for being ahead of the curve in acknowledging women and ethics in fashion.

What makes this even more special is that it was voted for by Cosmo readers and I think that’s really important; for it is them and all the people out there that can make a difference. The more people that purchases Fair Trade fashion the more of a difference we can make and the quicker we can drive it into the mainstream.
