Press & Projects

As part of her ongoing specialist work within the emerging genre of ethical fashion Jocelyn Whipple has worked on many projects events and consultations over the years and continues to do so. Here are some recent examples.

NOI Collective – London

In 2009 Noi Collective was formed by, Orsola de Castro, Lucy Siegle, Livia Firth and Jocelyn Whipple. Why? Because people want information and experience, and we have it. With Fifty years combined experience in the development of environmentalism and social justice in the global textile industry we are four women who are collectively committed to influence, inform and progress best practice in the fashion industry. We are always looking for new projects, here are some examples.

The Green Carpet Challenge – The very exciting project hosted by Vogue.co.uk. Livia Firth has committed to wear ONLY ethical fashion to every major premiere and award ceremony event she attends with her actor husband Colin. Jocelyn and the Noi Collective are working closely with her to find the outfits, tell the stories and highlight the issues from ethical mining to up-cycling. http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/livia-firth/
