- Incentive prize: Burul Mambetova from Kirghistan, designer at the Magic Felt label, moved the jury with her story and her felt pieces made of one single piece. - Prize for visual design went to the designer Diana Gamboa who amazed spectators at the opening catwalk show with her majestic red paper origami creations. The Reflex Public group, which specialises in public relations and image for the luxury sector, has invited her to take part in one of their projects.
Ethical fashion enthrals the press Almost 250 journalists from the trade and specialist press, online media, radio and television, who came from all over the world, reported on the event for the four days of the show.
The show which has benefitted from its improvement has attracted journalists. This surge in interest from the press demonstrates the ever-increasing importance of ethical fashion, above all against the current background, where brands from the major names have been found to have incorrect practices.
Designs and clothing which have meaningful value are what tomorrow's consumers want, according to various surveys conducted in France, the United Kingdom and the United States. And the press appears to be reacting to this movement.
The show is delighted by the interest shown by the press as it could not only help consumers gain a greater awareness but also have an influence on both politicians and the practices of the firms and entire textile sector.
The next Ethical Fahion Show edition will be held on 2nd- 4th March 2012.
Venue: Espace Pierre Cardin, 1/3, avenue Gabriel 75008 – Paris
