In love with Goodone!

Woah wow sexy stuff! Loving the panelling in the S/S ranges of this eco-fashion label.

"Goodone is an award-winning independent fashion label that reflects contemporary London through conscious design. We create high-end fashion forward collections, reinventing the potential of what up-cycled garments can be.

By using reclaimed fabrics in every possible part of the design process we create desirable, assertive and feminine pieces that work day to evening. We aim not to stand apart from the mainstream fashion industry, rather to achieve positive change from within.

We want to give women the opportunity to feel good about their clothes and work with what already exists to achieve more."
