FASHION
Door is a fashion brand dedicated to ensuring they are ethical, sustainable and environmentally friendly from product to
process, all the way down to the swing tags.
Once, everyone could be said to have had a book in
them. Nowadays, I like to think everyone has a slogan
tee. Buckinghamshire based friends Josh, Dave and
Jonny must agree as they have chosen the Tee Shirt
as a their way of ethically promoting creativity and
celebrating talent.
Bringing their backgrounds in advertising, consumer
psychology (!!) and business management together
to turn an idea into something tangible, these long-
time friends have made ethical sustainability the
foundation of their approach to fashion.
Door opens this autumn online - offering overnight
delivery and more than just material to wear. Their
Salvage Tee is salvage not in look, but in material.
These tees are made out of Oeko-Tex a half recycled
polyester and half organic cotton. Their second
range, Pastel, is made from Fair Wear Foundation
certified Bamboo. Familiar territory for ethical
clothing perhaps, but Door have gone further -
ensuring that their printers work with local water
management companies to ensure any waste from
the process is disposed of in a responsible way.
The intention for these T's is to offer a medium
through which artists - of all kinds - can collaborate
to produce fashionable, wearable, ethical art.
Dave told me they already have a variety of up
and coming as well as established photographers,
video producers, artists, bands, fashion designers,
journalists and other writers who are keen to get
involved - because, you know, everyone has a slogan
tee inside.
Do you? Knock on the Door.
