Vogue editor Anna Wintour joined Colin Firth’s eco-warrior wife Livia Firth and Karl Lagerfeld’s former muse Amanda Harlech for the premiere of eco fashion film Handprint at the W London hotel in Leicester Square.
The film, which was directed by Mary Nighy and stars American actress and model Elettra Wiedemann, aims to promote awareness of the conditions endured by third world garment workers.
Clothing factories in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and Cambodia are used by numerous high street and designer names, and until recently, many were also reported to use child labour.
The squalid conditions faced by workers made headlines earlier this year, when eight-storey garment factory Rana Plaza in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, collapsed, killing 1,129 people and injuring more than 2,500.
Others involved in making eco fashion film, Handprint included Net-a-Porter founder, Natalie Massanet, and Caroline Rush, chairman of the British Fashion Council.
