Fashion goes green at LFW

Away from the glitter of the catwalk and the champagne-fuelled talk about hemlines and skinny models, London Fashion Week has put the spotlight on ethical fashion.
The six-day show, saw lively debates on its fringes about eco-friendly production, the recycling of materials and the vexed question of substandard pay for workers in developing countries.
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), an organisation that aims to improve earnings for workers in global supply chains, chaired a debate on "positive buying", encouraging fashion-followers to think about the link between their purchases and human rights.
