Who said that going green couldn't be gorgeous and glamorous? Certainly not Gina Conway, who produced a stunning fashion show showcasing elite eco-designers teamed with cutting-edge hair and beauty.

Sponsored by the exclusive Fashion TV channel and supported by charities The Earthwatch Institute and the Whole Planet Foundation, Gina's 3rd Annual Charity Fashion Show was designed to raise money to support sustainability and develop understanding of other environmentally conscious efforts.

Working with eight top eco-designers from around the world, including Louis De Gama and Eternal Spirits, Gina's staff, from the assistants right up to the art team, each had their chance to shine.

But while the stylists all brought their own ideas and creativity to the catwalk, from classic pleats and bob shapes to avant garde looks completed with large baubles and cleverly structured asymmetric shapes, the central theme of Earth-Fire-Water-Air brought a unity to the show.

Speaking after the event, Gina said: "The response we received from the show was amazing! Eco fashion can be at the forefront of the fashion industry.

"We had many people wanting to become a part of the Gina Conway difference, and that to me is so invaluable and humbling.

"My staff and I work so hard to achieve above and beyond every day and I think this year we have really stepped up our game!"
