'Orsola de Castro puts the ‘ethics’ in ‘aesthetics’. An internationally recognised pioneer in sustainable fashion, she works tirelessly to raise awareness, demonstrate the true cost of our clothes and show the world that change is possible. Orsola works from within the industry to bring labels, suppliers and the other parts of the value chain together: asking questions, raising standards and making a difference. Her own label, From Somewhere, used to recycle offcuts and upcycle luxury materials to produce ‘exquisite rubbish’. Estethica, a sustainability arena that Orsola curated for London Fashion Week, put the capital at the heart of this energetic movement. Orsola is a regular keynote speaker at sustainable fashion events worldwide, TED Talks and lectures regularly in the UK and internationally including Central Saint Martins, Camberwell College, The Hong Kong Design Institute, Esmod Berlin. She is also the co-founder of Fashion Revolution which every year on the 24th April bring everyone in the fashion value chain together and help to raise awareness of the true cost of fashion, show the world that change is possible, and celebrate all those involved in creating a more sustainable future.'
