Go Green!

The new trend amongst the fashionable Londoners is to go green. That is, to opt for all things organic - which includes, of course, what you wear.

Sienna Miller and Minnie Driver both love People's Tree for clothing and accessories. Its mail-order catalogue and website are full of cosy alpaca jumpers, embroidered bags and pretty jewellery made using traditional skills. And the small communities that People Tree trades with get a fair wage.

Stella McCartney, who famously refuses to work with leather, produces beautiful shoes using rubber, satin, cork and faux suede. For those on a budget, try the made-to-order shoes in jewel tones at Beyond Skin, starting at just £89.
