Izzy Lane, also a RE:Fashion Award winner of New Designer of the Year, will be showcasing her strong collection of clothing which helps reused sheep.

Returning brand Komodo will now be located within Ethical Pure. Jo Komodo commented 'Komodo are pioneers in fair trade and organic fashion, and we are excited and proud to be at the centre of the new ethical section at Pure London. It's thrilling to see how much ethical fashion has grown and progressed over the past 20 years, and the more support the industry receives from the retail and wholesale sector, the more it will grow and become part of the mainstream. Other brands not to be missed include Nomads Clothing, odd and Swedish brand Britt-Inger.

Ethical Pure's sponsor made will be exhibiting jewellery collections designed by Pippa Small and Natalie Dissel as well as collaborations with celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Peaches Geldof. The collection was launched in 2004, helping many disadvantaged communities across East Africa.

Terra Plana, who recently opened a store in London's Westfield, will be bringing a range of footwear using a variety of eco-friendly materials. Lee Davies, the UK distributor for Terra Plana commented 'We are exhibiting as we now feel that ethical brands are on a par product wise with non ethical brands. Offering sexy, affordable and desirable products with ethical and eco morals, retailers are now able to stock these products that sell on style but wont cost the earth.'

Ethical Pure have teamed up with experts Ethical Fashion Forum and Environment Justice Foundation to ensure the best ethical brands and buyer advice are on offer at the show, and they will both have a presence at the show.
