London Fashion Week has started to showcase more sustainable brands. And this year we’re excited to be taking part!
Our founder Roberta Lee, London’s Sustainable Stylist is proud to present an EBD multi-brand showcase at the LONDON Represents event on Sunday 17 September. She has curated a line-up of our brands to take you on a colourful journey of ethics, values and sustainability. You can expect a vibrant collection that isn’t defined by Pantone trends, hemlines or fashion fads.

Sustainability at London Fashion Week
The fashion industry is known for its significant environmental footprint. From water usage, toxic chemicals, and plastic pollution to greenhouse gas emissions – there’s a drastic need for improvement.
Embracing sustainability at London Fashion Week can help reinforce the message that style isn’t just about new things. While we love fashion at EBD, we don’t believe it should come at the cost of people and the planet. Nobody should suffer in order for us to look good.
we hope our showcase Will highlight:
We all have lots of roles to play in helping change fashion’s negative impact. There is room for all to make changes, whilst still enjoying fashion. The key is to be more resourceful and creative.
For fashion brands, we hope our show encourages more eco-friendly practices for future collections. This includes things like switching to organic materials, using deadstock, minimising waste, creating timeless trend-free items, or adopting ethical manufacturing processes. All fashion brands can all contribute towards a cleaner, greener and kinder world. Every brand has to start somewhere and we are here to help all ethical fashion brands navigate the sustainable landscape.
Being sustainable and stylish at Fashion Events
If you’re attending London Fashion Week, consider re-wearing an outfit, or be bold and embrace outfit-repeating throughout the week. Consider showcasing vintage or renting or borrowing something wonderful.
Glamour often takes centre stage at London Fashion Week, but this year, given the climate crisis we feel it’s more important to buck fashion trends. Trends come and go, but great style is forever. We don’t want you to rush out and impulse purchase. We urge you to take your time, slow down and really consider your future purchases – fall in love and only buy clothes you’ll wear on repeat, and keep for many years.
Supporting small independent brands on our directory is a great way to contribute to a fairer fashion industry, without needing to give up on life’s luxuries.
LONDON Represents – Inclusivity in Fashion
LONDON Represents has planned a dazzling highlight for this year’s London Fashion Week.
