Elizabeth St John: I want my collection to be clothes that women will want to wear and know that its manufactured in a way that is less harmful to the planet should follow as an added bonus. Green should extend beyond the idea of simply recycling or refashioning a garment into something new...all aspects of the creation of it should be considered. Finally, the cut, fit and construction should all contribute to clothes that are comfortable and timeless - to be beautiful and compliment their owners.
