Transparency is important when it comes to sustainability, a strategy that lives by the mark. Who makes her designs, where products are purchased and what the supply chain looks like, the designer is still articulate.
*Mother of Pearl*
Mother of Pearl has perfected the art of designing with a conscience by producing contemporary, wearable pieces. Creative director Amy Powney advises consumers to question a company’s credentials before investing.

*House of Sunny*
House of Sunny produces only limited runs of each collection in a bid to take action against fast fashion. Creating only two seasonal collections a year enables the design team to spend more time investigating and sourcing sustainable fabrics and methods of production.

*Stella McCartney*

Stella McCartney writes on her website that ‘eco’ shouldn’t be a word “that immediately conjures up images of oatmeal-coloured fashion or garments that are oversized or lacking in any sort of luxury or beauty, detailing or desirability”. McCartney is known as one of the pioneers in designing ethically and challenges that stereotype, from never using leather or fur to helping the environment by protecting endangered forests.
