Think Act Vote Design Competition

Think. Act. Vote. is the brainchild of Amisha Ghadiali, the ethical jewellery designer, and it's a brilliant idea that fuses fashion design with activism to get us all to well... Think. Act. Vote! Amisha says "If politics were a fashion label, you wouldn’t wear it. We want to use creativity to create a community around the choices we make for our future." So many of us have become disillusioned with politics in general, and have disengaged from the political process. Yet our vote is precious and designed to help us think about the world we live in... and change it. Katherine Hamnett said, "Thousands of people have died and are dying all over the world for the right to vote. It is one of our most precious possessions. Use it before we lose it."

Bibico, Fashionably Fair for Everyone

Nieves Ruiz Ramos wearing her bibico clothingIt takes a strong passionate woman to bring Fair Trade clothing to the masses - brave too. Such a task doesn't daunt Spanish designer Nieves Ruiz Ramos who directs her fashionably fair label, bibico, with much flair and market understanding. With Fairtrade Fortnight in full swing in the UK where bibico is based, it is timely to pose some fair questions to this Fair Trade stylish trailblazer.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR CLOTHING TO BE FASHIONABLY FAIR?

Nieves: As a designer myself I understand the importance of being able to make clothes that people love to wear and look good in. That’s why producing good quality, stylish garments is always at the heart of bibico. In any fashion company, product has to always come first and the fact that our label is Fair Trade is an extra bonus. It's an amazing achievement from lots of hard work that we are able to help underprivileged communities enjoy a greater future.

IF BIBICO CAN DO IT, WHY NOT THE RETAIL GIANTS?

Ada Zanditon down the Bat Walk

Ada Zanditon's seasonal collections reflect this outrageously clever designer's inner beauty too. Without a doubt, Zanditon cares just as deeply about our fellow creatures as much as the consistent delivery of innovative fashion design. Last season, Ada Zanditon's collection was inspired by the Bee Colony Collapse Disorder, a conservation stance echoed in her Fall's collection 'Echolocation' to communicate the plight of bats. None the wiser, we didn't realise these flying mammals are in trouble too. Ada exclaimed passionately "Bat numbers have plummeted, there are so many problems."

To work out these bat problems, Ada has been working closely with the Bat Conservation Trust and explained "I became fascinated by a bat’s ability to navigate the night sky through echolocation.  We have these remarkable animals on our doorstep that desperately need our help; I want this collection to celebrate the amazing abilities of these unique mammals." Ada continues "Bringing bats and fashion together changes the way people think about bats and the fashion industry."
