Britain is home to more luxury and high-performance car brands than any other country and when it comes to putting slow fashion in the fast lane, we’re doing it in sensational style. 
Something exciting is happening in fashion right now. Enter a new generation of trailblazing brands and designers who are refusing to stand still. Driving fashion and fuelling our desire for more eco-friendly sartorial choices, these creatives are fusing luxury and sustainability, proving that fabulous fashion doesn’t have to cost the earth. 
For too long, sustainable fashion has been typecast as boring; sludgy tones, baggy designs, scratchy fabrics, but there are plenty of brands carving out a gorgeously greener space in the fashion industry. 
Our glamorous photoshoot perfectly illustrates how conscious fashion is finally getting its glow-up. A couture coterie of lace, feathers, embellishment and beads, powering up your palette to stay on the bright side: these happy hues are racing into Summer at full speed. Vitamin-packed berry brights in tangible textures offering a healthy dose of fashion escapism so you can look good with a clear conscience.  

Championing sustainability comes in many guises, whether sourcing eco-friendly resources and practices, getting creative about waste and dead stock or creating 
wear-now-treasure-forever timeless pieces, these talented designers and innovative brands show that the concepts of glamour and ecological consciences finally go hand in hand. The rise of re-sell has seen pre-loved boutiques and rental platforms experience unprecedented growth. From vintage Chanel to dreamy Dior, sartorial luxury is making us feel just as good as we look. 
When it comes to saving the planet- there’s no time to waste!
