"In January 2012, Rebecca Smithers gave up buying clothes for 12 months, saved £1,200 – and transformed her life..."

"Of course, not everybody can sew. Since I launched my challenge, there have been some useful online initiatives such as Sew It Forward, the brainchild of Zoe Robinson, of sustainable fashion hub thegoodwardrobe.com.

Robinson is a champion of the slow fashion movement, which refuses to follow mass-produced seasonal trends and instead focuses on quality and long-lasting garments."
