The Ethical Fashion Programme endeavours to involve as many communities as possible in every order. In the A/W 2011 Vivienne Westwood collaboration, nine urban and rural groups played a part; their participation ranging from manual, semi skilled to skilled as well as supervisory roles. Equally, Ilaria Venturini Fendi has worked with us to ensure her Carmina Campus accessories make use of both a broad skills base and as many reclaimed materials as possible, the latter ranging from bottle tops to military blankets.  

One of our first collaborators, Coop, has proved to be a loyal and dedicated partner in the project. The Ethical Fashion Programme first started this relationship with Coop Tuscany, moving on to Coop Italia which today is placing massive orders through our system of work, creating thousands of jobs within our network of artisans. 

The Programme is on the verge of announcing a number of very exciting new collaborations with high-end fashion labels and other names from the industry. Please stay in touch until we disclose this precious information…
