I am a graduate fashion design student at the London College Fashion.
I have always been passionate about both Art and Fashion, and when it came to choosing what career path to go down I decided to take the fashion route, studying womenswear at the London College of Fashion. This did not mean that I neglected my passion for art, I have continued my favourite practice of observational drawing, which I hope to incorporate into print design.
For the final year of my degree I focused on ethical fashion. My final collection was produced sustainably, using a combination of organic, upcycled and second hand fabrics. For me, the decision to go 'ethical' was not a choice - I believe that it is the only option. I hope to be involved in bringing ethical fashion to the mainstream, through working with high street fashion companies.
I am about to embark on an ethical research project, researching the ethical consumer and striving to develop a personality profile. I will also be looking into whether education can play a role in changing consumer attitudes.
Alongside this I hope to work freelance in ethical design, working alongside the companies 21 Things I love and Annie Greenabelle.
For me, ethical fashion holds a multitude of opportunity, and I am excited to embark on a career focused on this area.

Thanks so much for your help! Yes I will post my results on Ethical Fashion Forum and if you would like to see my entire dissertation I could send it to you after I finish it.
Thanks for the outreach, and the pics above are lovely. I'd be happy to include them on my resource section of my blog if you send me some bio info etc.
