Ethical Brand Directory (EBD) had the privilege of showcasing a diverse collection of ethical and sustainable brands at London Fashion Week. The EBD catwalk was carefully curated by our founder, Roberta Lee, London’s Sustainable Stylist. She delivered on her promise of a line-up of colourful brands, a fusion of ethics, values and sustainability. It was a truly vibrant collection that wasn’t defined by Pantone trends, hemlines or fashion fads.

Our Ethical Brands at London Fashion Week
The EBD collection as you can see from the photo above, was beautiful, colourful and vibrant each piece was chosen for its rich story, values, ethics, and a vision for a more sustainable and inclusive fashion future. We are delighted to say that there was nothing beige or boring to be seen on our runway! Apologies for the blurry shot, this was the only photo of everyone together.
The catwalk opened with a pop of colour and a casual look, featuring the vibrant designs of Sylvia Piechulla. It was a beachy vibe, that challenged the notion that ethically made means drab and boring!

Ethical Brands at LFW
We recognise the challenge the industry faces, but we don’t accept the reasons for those in the industry not willing to embrace the necessary change for an equitable fashion industry for us all.
The event was put on by London Represents as a testament to the growing importance of ethical fashion in the industry. Inclusivity and diversity took centre stage, with models of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds gracing the runway.
Let us know in the comments, which one is your favourite look!
