Their incredible vision and creativity has seen From Somewhere not only sustain an aspirational fashion brand that upcycles the most beautiful pre-consumer waste from the best Italian mills, but also curate Estethica at London Fashion Week, and furthermore work with Tesco to design and develop their own collection of From Somewhere dresses for the mass market. Last year the From Somewhere at Tesco Viper dress was the highest selling fashion item on the Tesco website.

Further congratulations go to the two runners up – Antiform, a Leeds based social enterprise led by the tirelessly creative Lizzie Harrison (recently graduated from our MA Fashion & the Environment), and Pachacuti, the 18 year old panama hat business who are the only UK fashion brand to have been awarded Fair Trade status.
And a last congrats to Lucy Siegle of the Observer who is the energy force behind the awards, and our very own Dilys Williams for being the esteemed expert fashion judge on the panel.
