Ethical fashion designers get political with Think Act Vote

We all know that being ethical can be stylish, but can politics be stylish too? As part of the Think Act Vote campaign, founder Amisha Ghadiali has brought together some of the biggest names in ethical fashion to redesign the campaign’s t-shirt. Junky Styling, Ada Zanditon, Tara Starlet, Ciel and Beautiful Soul are but a few of the wonderful designers to re-work a simple t-shirt into stunning creations. George Walker reveals what happens when fashion meets politics in our pop-out gallery.

You may remember that we attended the Think Act Vote t-shirt launch last month. It was a great night and a great t-shirt, chosen by members of the Ethical Fashion Forum and iconic fashion designer Katharine Hamnett.

Since then the Think Act Vote team have been busy taking their special ballot box to the public and taking their t-shirt to the best ethical fashion designers in the UK for them to re-design. The pictures you see below will sit alongside written contributions from the public in a book that looks at the topic of democracy in a fresh, and very stylish, way.

So why get ethical designers involved?  Think Act Vote founder Amisha Ghadiali said: “The idea behind this was to encourage creativity and show how you can use fashion to express yourself and a message. It’s interesting to see what you can do with a simple t-shirt. The designers that took part in the customization, also provided instructions of how you can do it yourself, which will soon be featured on our website.”
