Noir is designing collections for both the consumer’s fashion and social conscience by creating meaningfulness in the luxury segment. Customers can thus endorse consumption and give a little back to the world by purchasing clothing that supports sustainable business processes in developing countries.

 

This vision has led to the creation of the cotton fabric brand Noir Illuminati II – the sole purpose of which is to produce the finest sub-Saharan cotton from raw African cotton, manufactured in Europe for Noir for onward sale around the globe to leading luxury brands. This development has in turn led to the establishment of the Noir Foundation, a fund that allocates the revenue from a percentage of the sales of cotton suits and fabric to support the African cotton workers in the supply chain called Proud Harvest.

This season, Noir will be presenting its new sub brand BLAACK for women. BLLACK is an ethical, street savvy, sexy, young and price conscious addition to the label, produced from certified cotton. 

Founder Peter Ingwersen says: ‘We want to be known as the first brand to turn corporate social responsibility sexy’.

Aneka is a young British fashion designer and has successfuly taken the old fashion nicker and turned it into wearable art. Well it is hardly surprising considering she graduated with a Fine Art Degree in Nottingham and then became a resident artist in an arts and crafts business before starting her own label - The Fancy Pants Parade - making unique hand made lingerie.

Here are some examples from her recent nautical range

She has been making and designing garments for over 2 years and selling them in boutiques, at arts & crafts events, burlesque club nights and on her own web site.

Quote. “The burlesque trend at the moment is an inspiration to most of my designs and I try to make them as fun, humorous and flirty as possible. All of my items are exclusive, one off and hand made using new and vintage materials, bows, lace and buttons”. Aneka.
