RE:Fashion awards ceremony tonight

A flock of heavyweight fashionistas, including Dame Vivienne Westwood, Portia Freeman and Daisy Lowe is preparing to descend on Shoreditch tonight for the inaugural RE:Fashion awards ceremony: an event dedicated to celebrating outstanding talent in ethical fashion.

There are three main categories in the award: 'Designer, 'Making a Difference,' and 'Innovation', but all these are into smaller ones, meaning loads of labels that are doing their bit for sustainable fashion should get the chance to shine. Old favourites like People Tree, Junky Styling and Izzy Lane are all in the running to take home an award.
