An ethical awareness in the fashion industry is growing in the world with London as its headquarters. British Fashion Council’s Estethica shared with the press its new collection of talented designers with a single message: You can look stylish, casual and sexy with upcycled garments, so go for the eco-labels.

Calling all fashionistas! If you’ve been hit by the recession and can’t afford to shop on the High Street as often as you wish, follow the swap shop trend. This weekend, the Skinny Cow brand took the concept and transformed it into a charity event where celebrities donate their unwanted garments to swap them for something else. Actress Kelly Brook was there, along with a group of selected lucky ladies.

A historical reason explains why the City of London offers such wide range of venues for events galore. All began in the 12th century when livery companies not only ruled the trade of goods but also the development of society. Nowadays there are 108 livery companies doing beyond business as usual.

Increasing numbers of Londoners are taking up cycling as a means to get to work, and recent figures from TfL confirm this rising trend. Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, has pledged to implement an ambitious bike hire scheme due to start next summer.
