Topshop's Jane Shepherdson joins People Tree

Fairtrade fashion label People Tree is to take Fairtrade fashion to a new level with the appointment of former Topshop Brand Director Jane Shepherdson.

Shepherdson, who is often credited with 'making Topshop cool', was also responsible for bringing People Tree into the store, and with her amazing track record looks likely to take the label to even greater heights when she joins People Tree's advisory board. This should drive Fairtrade fashion further into the mainstream, so expect more styles and more opportunities to buy People Tree Clothing; the news comes as the label announced that it is also to open a concession in organic superstore Whole Foods Market, due to open in London next week.

Here's to an exciting new phase for Fairtrade fashion!
