The collaboration is part of a wave of changes in the fashion industry, with designers making moves to create more sustainable collections.

Earlier this year Selfridges consulted with the Centre for Sustainable Fashion on leading sustainable designers to champion in its epic Oxford Street windows display, as part of the store’s annual Bright New Things initiative - with one designer being awarded a bursary of £30,000 to support their work.

And Ryan Roche, which showed its SS17 collection as part of NYFW this week, is a label committed to sustainable, low-impact production. Roche even works with a women's cooperative in Nepal, as well as supporting domestic manufacturing with her converted barn in upstate New York.
