New A-Z of sustainable fashion – Oxfam launches new boutiques
Stephen Jones' amazing creation for the new Oxfam boutique in Notting Hill
It couldn’t have been a sunnier, more beautiful evening to open the first of Oxfam’s new ethical fashion boutiques in Notting Hill.
Simply but elegantly fitted with the best in recycled, remade, Fair Trade and ethical fashion – you’ll really want to check it out. People Tree is the biggest Fair Trade brand there and the store offers the widest range of People Tree on the high street (for other People Tree stockists please look here)
Well done Oxfam team!!
Jane Shepherdson and the Oxfam team pulled in the support of designers Christopher Kane, Giles Deacon, Stephen Jones, Henry Holland, Richard Sorger amd Jens Laugesen to produce one off pieces to launch the restyled section, apparently fashion students will be donating recycled pieces to the new store that will sit alongside carefully selected recycled and vintage pieces, Fair Trade and ethical pieces. Profits will go to supporting Oxfam’s work

3) ‘Loved for longer’; - selected donated product
4) ‘Made with Lonve’ – volunteers reworking donated product
5) ‘Good Fashion Sense’ – working towards Fair Trade and organic
