Sophie Gorton - Organic

Info:  Sophie Gorton studied Fine Art at Chelsea before setting up her own fashion label in 1989. Her collection was exhibited regularly at London Fashion Week and stocked by many retailers, including Liberty's, Harrods and Selfridges. In 2003 Sophie returned to college and completed a Masters in textiles at Central Saint Martins.

Sophie is now concentrating on sustainable issues within the fashion and textile industry and has brought out a small organic cotton collection of women's tops. She is also currently working with waste and recycled materials combining techniques such as laser, emboss, print and shibori. Her new works have been included in several exhibitions and publications.

SP:UK

Info:  Is an independent company. We have no bigshot investors. We started life as the Spunky Sound System in the 1990s, when we were more focused on putting on the best parties and having a good time (as anybody who comes to visit our marquee at Glastonbury Festival would tell you). Then in 1998, after art college, we turned our hand to providing the finest design based T shirts. For the last 10 years.

All new Mens' T-shirts are now organic and very limited edition, and soon all the hoods will be organic cotton too. We are committed to continually developing the ethical policies at Spunky and hope soon to be fair trade certified. We have increased our prices by 50p this season, as our costs have gone up massively to bring you the best quality organic cotton. Our T-shirts prints are also very limited print editions (sometimes as little as 75 per design). While other labels claim to offer limited edition, they usually mean 1,000 to 10,000 prints. So we hope you will feel the extra cost of a Spunky T-shirt is worth it to get something organic and unique.

surfers against sewage

Info:  Is a UK-based non profit-making organisation campaigning for clean, safe recreational waters, free from sewage effluents, toxic chemicals, marine litter and nuclear waste.

We were founded in 1990 by a group of surfers, who were literally 'sick of getting sick' through repeated ear, nose, throat and gastric infections after going in the sea. Forming a local group, we set about taking grassroots action to stop the sewage pollution at our local surf breaks in Cornwall.
