my project in DRC is not so much related to fashion, but maybe I can still help with contacts... please let me know how i can help! Really love your fabrics, by the way! Just gorgeous! I have some questions about it... is it suitable for upholstery or is it very stretchy? If suitable, where could I buy some?
I suppose I'm a designer of sorts but really I only dabble into fashion design in my spare time. During the day I'm the women's wear buyer for an independent clothing store called Goodstead on Rose Street in Edinburgh. By night I'm a singer! You may well have heard me waling away at a wedding if you've been to any lately...one of the bands I sing with seems to have the edinburgh market covered! My own band are a very different animal.
I love your fabrics! I've only just started on my career path as a buyer but I have always had a keen interest in trying to increase the amount of ethical lables available on the market. There are more and more labels trying to do something ethical and modern these days, we recently introduced Cecilia Hamorborg to our collection and she's doing just that.
Sorry it took me half a year to respond to your very good question!
Ecologique Fashion Show drew a huge amount of people and press within San Diego. The goal was to educate consumers and I think even the fact that some Chargers fans did show up wasn't such a bad thing. A lot of people in the US--let alone Southern CA-- want to be more ethically sound when it comes to their consumption habits. Many just aren't sure where to start and many are unfortunately addicted to material objects! The first thing to conquer in converting is obviously to educate, and that truly was the goal; to plant a seed in the heads of those who generally put a negative stigma upon sustainability and green products in general. The fact that the event received interest/attention from designers in the area as well as models and the general public gives me hope that we can slowly make a difference in limiting negatively habitual consumption and minimize some carbon footprints.
Thank you so much for your concern and your comment :)
..And cheers to your contributions to the Ethical Fashion Forum in addition to your other ventures.
Hi David, you have a very interesting project. I have a friend who was on YES summit, last week in Sweden, and we've already spoken about Tartans for Africa, especially in Angola and Mozambique.
Please take a look on the photos VERA VIANA collection, created by me.
Can you let me know abit more.
Do you want it printed organically, in this country or abroad?
What minimums do you need?
What is the price you are looking for?
When do you need it for?
Hi David
Thanks for the enquiry. We make traditional East African fabrics - masai blankets in acrylic and cotton kangas / kitenge (the traditional wraps worn by women). Brands like Soko use kitenge fabric to make some really nice pieces (dresses and skirts etc). Min order qties are pretty high though for own designs - 12,000 metres per design. Let me know if of interest?
Take care

I absolutely love tartan, and used some reclaimed tartans and tweeds in my final collection at uni.
Do you still produce tartans in Scotland? I am hopefully going to be working on a project soon, and will look to source sustainable tartan - or even scraps/end of line...
Do you think this is something you might be able to help with?
i am personally in love with the Scottish checks and would definitely contact you for this fabric once i open up my label. but if anytime you need to get apparels designed i can freelance them for you :) because i love playing with checkered fabric
If you are looking to collaborate with some designers from North Carolina, I've got a full contact list of great designers. I have worked with many of them for more than 4 years now, while producing my eco-friendly fashion shows. Let me know if that sounds interesting to you... uniting designers from around the world with one common design challenge.
Hi David,
Thanks for your message! I am always interested in collaborating with industry members, and would be happy to help out however possible. We have a great team of designers here at NC State, and if you could supply some more information about your event, I would be happy to pass it along to the right people.
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Hello David,
Thanks for contacting me, I would love to hear more about you and am very interested in learning more about this possible collaboration. I am very interested in green fashion and would love to get involved with people from the industry who have the same mindset!
look forward to hearing from you

hi david! thanks for your inquiry! while i can't speak for everyone in VA about its design sensibility ( a very diverse, dynamic state i have only lived in for 7 years or so - i am originally from California), i can say that for me, i am drawn graphic and fashion design that is balanced and has clean lines, that enables people to express themselves fully and embraces who they are. so for me good, clean design is all about simplicity and being true to your own personal brand. i am working on a project right now about the style+fashion around dressing for work/your occupation and how those in dc+va approach it...for me it's all about being true to yourself...i have friends who are very green (sustainable) and those who wear trainers with their suits - it will be an interesting project. cheers! your designs are stunning!
Hi David. i have mailed you the detail of a manufacturing unit who have agreed to produce the fabric for you. please check your mail for the same.

David lets talk
I wonder whether we could set a phone meeting or are you in the Borders at any time so that we can combine the journey with something else and do our tiny bit for the planet......

Hi David,
Great Tartans! I will definately keep them in mind when I'll be designing my next collection.
May I ask who was the designer you sponsored at Fashion Week Poland?
All the Best
Olga
Hi David, I am interested to know about your products, do you have a website? Chiswick Churches usually orgaise Speaker events. I am currently involved with an All Faith's event in November for Interfaith Week including a Fashion show with a focus on sustainability and care of the planet, as an expression of faith (Nov).
