On Saturday 11th September, CEO and founder of UK’s ethical fashion label
PEOPLE TREE – Safia Minney (bottom right in above picture), along with her organic cotton supplier from India – Hasmackh Patel (bottom centre in picture above) from Agrocel, and a team of fashion models showed off the label’s new autumn 2010 collection including the new range by actress Emma Watson. Miss Watson, who is best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, unfortunately couldn’t make it because of her university commitments but recorded a greeting for the event. She is already linked with the British heritage brand Burberry as the face of a recent advertising campaign. As creative advisor, injecting her personal style into the range, Watson’s collection for People Tree is aimed at the 16-24 age group.
It was fitting that the catwalk show from the label that condones fair trade, organic fibres and green living, was a highlight at
A Garden Party to Make a Difference, which will run until September 19. The setting was the Friory Court of St. James’ Palace, within the grounds of a royal household. Since September 8th, the Prince of Wales’ London residence – Clarence House, along with the neighbouring Marlborough and Lancaster Houses, have been staging A Garden Party to Make a Difference to trumpet the importance of recycling and conserving the environment for the future of our children.
The 12-day Prince of Wales' festival for celebrating sustainable living is supported by a mix of exhibitions by retailers such as Marks and Spencer, Virgin, B&Q and Eurostar, and includes also interactive displays, activities and live performances from comedians, musicians and speakers. The public are given the chance to see Prince Charles's small vegetable patch, he created six years ago in memory of his grandmother, the Queen Mother.
A Garden Party to Make A Difference runs until September 19, 10am-6pm.
