THE GREEN WALK

HAPPY RESPONSIBLE SHOPPING

Kermit the Frog once said it wasn't easy being green. He obviously hadn't seen our guide to Copenhagen's best options for sustainable fashion shopping. Do the right thing and shop the ethically responsible way - from organic materials to the welfare of factory workers, Copenhagen Fashion Festival is putting the spotlight on shops, which carry at least one label with a sustainable profile.


"It has to be easier for the consumers to show consideration for the environment. We need the clothing stores to use the labels of environment. The Nordic Ecolabel is an excellent example of how stores and distributers implement environmental initiatives in their production and sale. At the same time I urge consumers to buy clothes which are labeled with either the Nordic Ecolabel or the European Ecolabel."

Karen Ellemann, Minister of the Environment
