Long overdue, the world’s first-ever fashion awards show dedicated entirely to ethical fashion took place on Thursday and was an undeniable milestone. London’s eco-elite played host to the RE:Fashion Awards, set in an historic town hall in Shoreditch, once the hub of England’s tailoring and sewing industry and now the epicenter of the city’s skinny-jeaned, Indie rock scene (like the East Village, but rainier and with stronger drinks).

I'm really excited to know that such a show happened! I've been trying to live as 'Green' as possible for years! I started my own small women's wear line 2 years ago using recycled fabrics, it's nice to see others putting as much energy into this industry as well!

Cudos!!
