In2Fashion - Fashion with the Indian Influence! May 7, 2009

Fashion: The Indian Influence, 1800-2000 Thursday 7 May, The British Library Business and IP Centre

On 7 May join us for an ethical entrepreneur special looking at fashion with the Indian Influence!

We'll be hearing from two ethical fashion entrepreneurs who have turned their passion for fashion to work to in India!

Our guests will be Ben Ramsden, CEO of Pants to Poverty and young fashion entrepreneur Kate Tailyour .

Ben
launched underwear brand, Pants to Poverty in 2005 off the back of the
Make Poverty History Youth Movement, which sold 11 thousand pairs of
pants in just 5 months. After travelling the world and working with
Amnesty International, Ben soon realized the valuable and significant
role that the fashion and cotton industry can have in linking the
worlds richest people to its very poorest, and how it can be used to
transform the relationship between the two.

Pants To Poverty are now establishing the world's first farmer owned cotton trading/Marketing company in the
UK, based in Hyderbad, India.

Kate Tailyour's unique approach to design is
just one of the many reasons this young British designer is tipped as one of Britain's hot
new talents. Her Spring Summer 09 collection has already
gained her recognition with the British Council, shortlisting her for the first ever UK
Young Fashion Entrepreneur Award.
