Estethica designers have been chosen for their design excellence and commitment to working in a sustainable way. All designers adhere to at least one of the key Estethica principles: fair trade and ethical practice in the production process; the inclusion of organic fibres or the use of up-cycled and recycled fabrics and materials. Since its inception Estethica has supported more than 100 designers from over 20 countries.
“This season’s Estethica showroom will exhibit some of the strongest sustainable fashion brands to date. The exciting mix of both established brands and emerging designers makes Estethica the leading showcase of ethical fashion.” - Caroline Rush, CEO of the BFC
