Back in Janurary I emailed The Ecologist firstly to invite them to MA Fashion and the Environment's graduate showcase (2011) and secondly to encourage them to write more sustainable fashion articles along with possible stories. I received a lovely email back saying that the new editor was keen to cover more fashion and beauty stories on the website. I didnt see much for a while, but success: lots of fashion related articles have been posted on The Ecologist's website. Hurray I hear you cry (or I do anyway).There are some really interesting articles that I think are worth a good read:Safia Minney: fashion's impact on the earth - The People Tree founder discusses the environmental damage caused by fasion.Inside the London College of Fashion's eco-hub - Celebrating the wonderful Centre for Sustainable Fashion.The ecological guide to Estethica - celebrating it's fifth year at London Fashion Week.

Eek, the time has come: I will be presenting my project Shed me Clothes tonight at the MA Pecha Kucha session held at the RHS Space at London College of Fashion from 6pm. Another of my peers from MA Fashion and the Environment, Julia Roebuck will also be presenting along with students from MA History and Culture of Fashion, MA Fashion Journalism and MA Fashion Curation.This type of presentation is timed, therefore no time to stumble. Wish me luck!
The University of Arts have set up an online showcase for us students to upload our work. Myself and members of my course MA Fashion and the Environment have uploaded blurbs about our work and images:MA Fashion and the EnvironmentKatie Ledger Shed me ClothesTake a look and see what we've been up to.
