Flock: fashion that doesn't follow the herd
Looking for some re-worked, pre-loved glamour? Flock is a new, recycled fashion label set up by Goldsmiths textiles graduate Poppy Pitt, to create stylish new garmets out of old ones, which might just tickle your fancy.
Working with fair trade company Chandni Chowk, Poppy creates some really original, funky wearables for Flock, while also putting on a lot of "lovely glamorous events" to raise awareness of ethical working methods. You can see the evidence for yourself at Flock's gallery, but if you're really keen to experience the cutting edge of experimental ethical fashion first hand, the clothes will be showcased at Oxfam's Ethical Expo in Bristol on 10th May.
I went to Goldsmiths! Even six years ago loads of the girls used to make their own clothes or ravage the local Oxfam... Not sure why the fairy-wing-wearing art student trend lasted for three years though!
