Recycled high couture

Trashback - not to be confused with Nathan Barley's Trashbat -  has just unveiled its summer 2005 collection. The high fashion label's an expert at making new clothes from old, and this new range is no exception - it's inspired by patchwork and uses old track suits, trench coats and checked material. The clothes are mostly womenswear, though there is also a smaller selection of mens' bits. Like TRAID and Howies, Trashback's stuff is definitely a case of well-made, good-looking fashion that incidentally happens to be green and ethical. Go buy from Question Air in Notting Hill (about halfway down the page on this link).
